Lower Fox River navigation maps

With the reopening of the Fox River locks Bob Stark, Chairman for the FOX RIVER NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM AUTHORITY provided me with the below maps.

One note that is important: This is a version of the chart that shows the Aids to Navigation (buoys) as they were before the locks closed.

Those buoys do not exist today below/down river from Appleton Lock #1.

There is an effort underway to get the Goast Guard to return to the river to set the buoys as the did before the locks closed. Anyone interested in getting the Coast Guard to return should contact the Coast Guard and their legislator (Sen Kohl, Cong. Petri/Kagen) with that opinion.
