Summary:
This series consists of drawings, blueprints, plans, diagrams, tracings, and maps relating primarily to the state's canal
system. Virtually all the state's canals are represented, but the series is particularly strong with respect to the Barge
Canal system. Also included is a map of the Genesee Valley Canal Extension from Olean to Mill Grove Pond apparently created
by William Rumble from an earlier David Vaughan map. Records are restricted due to severe fire and water damage.
