A large number of mills were formerly maintained. Gibson's map desig- nates 50, exclusive of Waterloo and Seneca Falls ; all but one or two are placed on streams. Yery few continue in use. Waterloo.— The source of the water power at the above-named villages is Seneca river. Between Waterloo and Seneca Falls the stream forms a part of the Cayuga and Seneca canal. Above Waterloo the same is the case to within half a mile of the lake, where the canal diverges, finally entering the lake at Geneva. The fall is 62 feet (441—379) between the lakes, of which 14 (dis- regarding fractions) occurs at Waterloo, and most of the remainder at Seneca Falls, a few feet occurring between the latter and Cayuga lake. The canal was incorporated in 1813. When first opened it ad- mitted boats of three feet draft, but between 1825 and 1857 this was successively increased, and at present it accommodates those of six feet draft, the depth of channel being seven feet.
