On this map sheet the canal pursues a winding course from E to W through the S part of the town of Paisley, passing through two tunnels (NS46SE 492.09 and NS46SE 492.24) and being served by a busy basin (NS46SE 492.11) in the centre. It then heads W into the countryside towards Elderslie. Much of the canal was overlaid by a railway after its closure in 1881.
