Erie Canal Lock #46 in Syracuse, NY

(Satellite, the topo map below shows a lock was just west of Beech Street. Erie Blvd. was the canal.)

The Weighlock in Syracuse has been preserved and is now a museum.

Double locks on [at] Beech St. in Syracuse Ny

Steve Leyden: Surveyors did such a good job that the next lock to the east was in Frankfort, New York, 70 miles away.

[Since the lock in Frankfort was #45 [ErieCanal_locks], that would make this one #46.]

The longest distance between locks on the entire canal.

It was called 'The Long Level.' It shows how good the surveyors were.
