In addition to its importance as an artifact of one of the nation's earliest and most significant public works, it draws attention to one of the lesser known and largely overlooked designs of Squire Whipple, nineteenth-century America's foremost theoretician-practitioner of truss bridge design. Fabricated in the Waterford, New York, iron works of George W. Eddy and erected by John Hutchinson of Troy, the Aldrich change bridge was a product of the rich industrial complex then flourishing at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers in eastern New York.

Acknowledgments: For over a decade, the Ontario County Planning Department has supported a working partnership between local towns and the Department of Environmental Conservation and Horticulture at Finger Lakes Community College that involves field research, ground truthing and digital mapping of natural land cover and cultural land use patterns. Previous studies have been completed for the Canandaigua Lake watershed, the southern Honeoye Valley, the Honeoye Lake watershed, the complete Towns of Canandaigua, Gorham, Richmond and Victor, and the woodlots, wetlands and riparian corridors in the Towns of Seneca, Phelps and Geneva. This report summarizes the latest land use/land cover study conducted in the Town of Bristol. The final report would not have been completed without the vital assistance of Terry Saxby of the Ontario County Planning Department. He is gratefully thanked for his assistance with landowner information, his patience as the fieldwork was slowly completed, and his noteworthy help transcribing the field maps to geographic information system (GIS) shape files.

  • Chapter 4. Conserving Natural Resources
    4.1 4 Conserving Natural Resources OVERVIEW Natural resources were integral to the historical and cultural development of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Today, they serve as the foun- dation for the success of the region’s tourism, recreation, and quality of life for residents. While the focus of this Preservation and Management Plan is on the protection of historic and cultural resources, natural resources also form a com- pelling story that can be used to interpret many elements of the Corridor. Th e form and character of the land in the Corridor create a setting that is distinct from other regions in the country. Th e geology, soils, and landforms shaped the alignment and construction of the canals and provided the economic base for centuries of continuous settlement. Water resources weave through every portion of this landscape, including dramatic rivers, the marvel of the canals, a multitude of lakes, and underground aquifers. Within this climate, the vegeta- tion is varied, including hardwood forests, wetlands, bogs, sweeping agricul- tural fi elds and orchards. Th e available water and variety of vegetation provide habitat for fi sh, waterfowl, upland forest species, and a number of threatened and endangered species. Th ese resources are the basis for a host of recreational activities and provide Photo: Cohoes Falls the essential ingredient for the quality of day-to-day life in the Corridor, attract- ing businesses, residents, and tourists to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. Although the Corridor’s natural resources have benefi ted from extensive invest- ments in conservation, they remain sensitive to the adverse eff ects of uncon- trolled development.
