Photographer: Google Maps
Caption: Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 23
Additional Description: The Erie Canal had many bends and curves in order to fit the contours of the land. In this aerial view of Lock 23 the canal is in an almost north-south configuration. Following the canal south here would take a canawler first to Schenectady, and eventually to Albany on the Hudson River. Going north here would be Canal West; toward Amsterdam, and on to Buffalo and Lake Erie.
