L Second Series. N. S. Shaler, Director. WATER-WAYS AND RAILWAYS. 53 III. WATER-WAYS AND RAILWAYS. The coal-field is crossed by three railroads, and is so drained by several streams that, were they all prepared for navigation (a work of no very serious difficulty), no part of it would suffer for means of transportation. All of the streams drain towards the Ohio River, which offers cheap transportation to the sea. The streams that have already been made navigable for part of their extent are the... Green, the Tennessee, and the Cumber- land Rivers ; those streams whose partial improvement is both feasible and desirable are the Tradewater and Pond Rivers, Rough Creek, Nolin River, Muddy River, and Bear Creek, The Green River and its tributaries is navigable by locks and dams for two hundred and sixty-eight miles. The Ten- nessee is navigable from its mouth to Florence, Alabama, a distance of about two hundred and fifty miles ; and the Cum- berland River is navigable from its mouth to a point about one hundred miles above Nashville.
