The Chenango Canal extended for 97 miles between Utica and Binghamton. It operated from 1837 through 1878. Its summit was at Bouckville, 706 feet higher than Utica and 300 feet higher than Binghamton. The Canal had 116 locks; its summit was between locks 76 and 77. Chenango County contains locks 84 through 105.
I made the following three drawings for my presentation to the Bullthistle Hikers on Tuesday 3 January 2012. Data for them were taken from:
McFee, Michele A. Limestone Locks and Overgrowth. The Rise and Descent of the Chenango Canal. Fleischmanns, NY: Purple Mountain Press. 1993. 240 pages.
