History

Moreover, the city did not feel compelled to do so because the creditors (those who held interests in the bonds) were not only from out of town, but weren't even the original holders. After plank roads were no longer used, the route was replaced by highway (Wisconsin Highway 16) and a railroad. The canal would have provided a waterway between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, but even if completed, it may not have seen much success because railroads had already become the preferred mode of transportation. A street named "Watertown Plank Road" survives in Milwaukee. A small amount remained to be paid, and this was not paid off until 1905, half a century later.
