Irrigation Canal for Marinette Cotton Farm

Irrigation Canal for Marinette Cotton Farm
Cotton farmers needed water to irrigate their land. Canals were dug to bring water from the local wells to the fields. The Marinette Canal, shown here, brought water to the community from wells owned by a water company five miles north of the present day Sun City's northern boundary. | Date: c. 1920 | Source: Peoria Historical Society
