Called Mother Brook, and built in 1639, this engineering marvel linked the Charles River and the Neponset River. Both move slowly, but at different elevations--with a canal in place, that difference made the current of the canal both swift and capable of powering local mills.

The parks and rec department then leads a cow onto the field, and prize winners are determined by what squares she fertilizes.
