During 2018–2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Madison County Planning Department and the New York State Canal Corporation conducted a study of the Old Erie Canal between the Town of DeWitt, New York, and its junction with the current Erie Canal of the New York State Canal System near Rome, N.Y. The study comprised bathymetric, velocity, and water-quality surveys and documentation of the canal infrastructure. The USGS established benchmarks and staff gages along the 30.8 miles of the canal study area to reference the water-surface level in the canal to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Water-quality data (dissolved oxygen, water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and turbidity) were collected concurrently with the bathymetric survey (spring 2018) to characterize changes in water quality along the length of the canal. The canal infrastructure was documented to provide a baseline assessment. This dataset contains a shapefile representing locations of the three feeder systems that contribute to Old Erie Canal. The purpose of this study was to document the current hydrology and hydraulics of a 30.8 mile long section of the Old Erie Canal and to provide data to water resource managers and land use planners to improve the water quality and aesthetics of the canal. 2022 Publication date Complete None -76.0719571 -75.8708845 43.0603610 43.0173684 USGS Thesaurus geospatial datasets hydrology USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5f05d49d82ce21d4c3f8aaca None Old Erie Canal United States New York State Madison County Oneida County Onondaga County None These points are defined for scientific research purposes and should not be used as a sole source of reference for any regulations and policy making.

No logical tests were conducted for this dataset. This dataset contains all feeder systems along Old Erie Canal. No horizontal accuracy tests were conducted for this dataset. This process step was performed by John Wernly. a) Feeder locations to Old Erie Canal were digitized in Google Earth in known locations and exported as Feeder_locations.kmz b) A shapefile was created by importing Feeder_locations.kwz into ArcMap and using the 'KMZ to Layer' conversion tool. c) The resulting shapefile was projected to WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere using the "Project" tool to obtain Feeder_locations.shp. 2020 U.S. Geological Survey, Northeast Region John F Wernly Hydrologist mailing address
