Delaware and Atlantic Canal

[johnnyb]

I was reading a thread here about the Richards canal and in one of the links there was a piece of an old map that showed a "Delaware and Atlantic" canal that ran from Rosenhayen (where is that?) on the Delaware River thru Jobstown and Juliustown. Did that canal actually exist? When? Who?
I lived in Springfield Township from 1980 to 2012 and was on their Zoning Board for 25 years - this is the first time I ever heard of such a canal. Most interesting!

The only Rosenhayn I know of in New Jersey is located outside of Bridgeton. Which map? I'll have a look.

On this Form there's an active thread "Nescochague berry feeder canal" in which Teegate put a link to an earlier thread "

On 10 Oct 2007 on this earlier thread guy posted a map that had Rosenhyen and the D&A canal on it.
Maybe guy can help us with both Rosenhayen and the canal???

I believe that map I posted may not have been correct.
