Satellite, I don't know why Google Maps calls this Moose River.)
Black River Canal Overview
Cori Wilson
posted five photos with the comment:
Sugar River Aqueduct of the Black River Canal, between Boonville and Port Leyden.
Not much here, there are some remains of the aqueduct on the north bank and a lot of fragments of its stone peppering the river bed. Major difference between this and the Buck Hill Aqueduct is size, quality, and color of stone, almost surely the Sugar River quarry blocks. This was 200 feet in length when complete.

North of this river, traces of the canal was removed by the construction of NY-12 except for a rest park built next to four locks.

This topo map confirms it was Sugar River that flowed into the Black River here.

Was there a town here? Or just a quarry?
