toreboda-rotkilen250.jpg (13292 bytes)On this general map from 1784, drawn by Elias Schveder, one can see the two stretches of canal that existed at that time. Observe that the map is specifically oriented so that North is to the left on the map.

The village Rotkilen By is located in the upper part of the map, between the two stretches of canal. The main road through Rotkilen leads to Töreboda. This road passes diagonally across the canal.
