Champlain Canal Sidecut to Mohawk River in Waterford, NY

(Satellite)

These locks are next to Barge Canal Lock #2.
There was a sidecut to the Hudson River down in Watervliet, NY.

Note the "sidecut" sign on the post.

I could not find Jevon's house until I saw it in the background of this view.

On the sides, we can see part of the notches that held the gates when they were open.
