The lower left text box contains "Latest Facts" about the progress of the canal, including speculation around building a sea level canal that would involve no locks at all--it would seem that they settled for a mix of the two: this view depicts a total of five locks, where there is now only three. Lake Bohio, the major artificial lake on this map was completely reconsidered, the company eventually settling on creating a far larger lake, Lake Gatun, that avoided building two of the projected locks.
