Sectional canal survey maps of the 1895 improvement of the Erie Canal, [ca. 1896-1897]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83731551

The series consists of sectional maps dating from the 1895 improvement of the Erie Canal. The Erie, Champlain, and Oswego canals were enlarged and improved by authority of Chapter 79 of the Laws of 1895. The State Engineer and Surveyor was in charge of determining the extent of each piece of work, and of conducting surveys undertaken in response to that law. These maps are apparently the product of the surveys, and were apparently made to help determine the best method of accomplishing the improvement.

ca. 12 cu. ft. (9 maps) : manuscript, pencil and col. ink ; 92 x 2,400 cm or smaller.
