Culebra Cut is the name given to that portion of the Panama Canal extending from the head-waters of the large artificial Gatun Lake to the Pedro Miguel Locks which open into Miraflores Lake. The Cut will be nearly nine miles long, extending from the town of Bas Obispo on the north to Pedro Miguel on the south. Other towns along the Cut are Las Cascadas, Empire, Culebra and Paraiso. There are eight angles or turns in the direction of the Canal through Culebra Cut, or about one to every mile; one of these angles is shown in this view. A minimum bottom width of 300 feet is maintained in the Cut; of course this minimum width is increased at the angles, as shown in this view, to allow for the turning of a vessel with the length of I,ooo feet. As the Cut follows the river valleys as far as possible the depth of the excavating be- comes greatest when the continental divide is reached. The divide is crossed between Gold Hill and Contractor's Hill; the former is shown to the right in the picture, and the latter to the left. Gold Hill is somewhat higher than the other.
