A very interesting and unusual map of New York state canals from the mid 1800s. The primary canal is of course, the Eire Canal, and there are several smaller canals radiating / connecting with the eire canal. The ten insets show each canal's topography, elevations and the locks. Existing and proposed railroads are also shown.
