Talk:Industrial Canal

Confluence of Waterways
Replacing references to the Industrial Canal's intersection(s) with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, I inserted wording referring instead to the IHNC's confluence with both of those waterways. In short order, I corrected one of the reference points I'd used, replacing "vicinity of France Road" with "a point north of the Florida Avenue Bridge." Commercial mariners refer to the latter location as the "Industrial Intersection," but that might be more detail than is needed. -- Muffuletta 20:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Discussion of Ninth Ward
There seems to be heated disagreement among some contributors to this article regarding the canal's use as a border between wards of New Orleans. Perhaps this should be discussed here, rather than continually yanking text in and out of the article itself? Or maybe the subject needn't even be mentioned in this article. Or maybe a map would help. I kind of doubt whether the average reader of this article around the planet will care that much about the particulars of this. -- Muffuletta 20:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

With regards to the canal functioning as a boundary, I hope we have finally settled on the fact that the canal is not an actual boundary. It can be arbitrarily regarded as a functional boundary--that is a geographic barrier, but not a political one--for the 9th ward (all of it). The actual western boundary for the 9th Ward is Almonaster Ave., so it is best to refrain from referring to the industrial canal as a boundary. In fact, it goes through the 9th Ward, so even west of the Industrial canal is still the 9th ward. It must also be noted that the 9th Ward reaches as far north as the Lake, which is its northern boundary. It is an EXTREMELY common misconception that the area commonly called "New Orleans East" is not the 9th ward, even though this is actually the bulk of the territory defined as the 9th Ward.Wbbigtymer 21:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
