Abandoned Erie Canal network, Syracuse, NY

The Erie Canal Photographs digital collection consists of photographs that are a part of Peter Goin's Evolving Landscapes project. Goin describes the project as "[a] continuing series of photographs documenting the delicate balance between exploitation and the land's ability and tendency to regenerate," with photographed locations "including the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota, Kudzu growth in Alabama, mining and earth-works in Louisiana, abandoned stage roads in Colorado, and the overgrown Erie Canal Network in New York, among many others." These materials are from Series 2, Subseries 2, Sub-subseries 3 of the Peter Goin Papers (2015-33).
