New York (State). Division of Canals and Waterways. Maps of portions of canals lands belonging to the State of New York, [ca. 1910] - 1951.

Title: Maps of portions of canals lands belonging to the State of New York, [ca. 1910] - 1951.

This series consists of approximately 1900 original linen maps produced by the State Engineer and Surveyor pursuant to Chapter 199, Laws of 1910 and Chapter 51, Laws of 1917. The maps are popularly known as "Blue Line," "Laws of 1910 Maps," and "Abandonment Maps." Although the enabling statute was passed in 1910, the bulk of the maps date from 1917-1918. The maps depict all state owned lands and property prior to improvements effected for the Barge Canal System; the location of state property appropriated for the Barge Canal; and the location of the old canals and related state property in relation to the Barge Canal. The maps show Barge Canal references only where the Barge Canal intersects the old canal right-of-way. The maps are referred to as "Blue Line Maps" because state owned property along canals along canals traditionally has been designated by a blue line beginning with Holmes Hutchinson's 1834 maps that were executed prior to the first enlargement of the Erie Canal.
