Lock #10: (
Satellite, approximate)
The lock numbers in these notes were obtained from
Locks 3-14 and
Locks 15-21 (indexed by
RailsAndTrails).
Lock #14 is in the foreground, and Lock #13 is under the steel girder B&O bridge.
In this view we are looking at Lock #12 and the other side of the B&O bridge.

"Looking south upstream from Lock 12 in the Cascade Locks. The wooden gates at the ends of the locks were washed out during the 1913 flood."
The locks were 90'(27.4m) x 15'(4.5m). |
This would be Lock #11. I think this predecessor trestle was a little further downstream than
today's trestle.
Lock #14 shows that vegetation control is a real problem. Some views were much more overgrown than this.
Looking North from North Street, we see the remnants of a basin that served an industry and Lock #15 on a bend to the left under the trees.
Next to Lock #15 is the restored Mustill Store.
The satellite locations for Lock #10 and #11 are approximate because a lot of houses and streets have been removed from that area. This map taught me that the marking of lock locations on a topo map can be very inaccurate.

This also shows how there were houses a lot closer to the canal than we see today. The bridge with the horse&buggy near the lower-left corner would have been North Street. The lock in the center foreground was Lock #15. Note that the Mustill Store was next to it.

This video focuses on the Irish immigrants that dug the canal with hand tools.
This is Lock #15. He walks up along the canal to
Lock #2.
