C&O Canal didn't terminate at Tiber Creek

I modified the following original passage. <<Around 1835, a lock keeper's house was built at the eastern terminus of the C&O Canal, where the C&O Canal emptied into Tiber Creek and the Potomac River. The lock keeper's house now stands at the southwest corner of Constitution Avenue, Northwest (N.W.), and 17th Street, N.W., near the National Mall.>> I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. The C&O Canal never went as far as Tiber Creek. Look at the map, it terminated at Rock Creek. "Lock 0" was a tidal dam downstream where Rock Creek met the Potomac at a cape called "The Mole". See this article for confirmation--also the Wikipedia articles Tidewater Lock and Tiber Creek. I changed the passage to 'western terminus of the Washington City Canal'.
