- Canaseraga Creek improvement records
Series Number
- A0890
Summary
- The series consists of documents relating to the Canaseraga Creek improvement project begun in 1906. The Canaseraga Creek is an important tributary of the Genesee River. Heavy silt deposits and the irregular course of the creek inhibited free passage of water, resulting in severe annual flooding. The slow subsidence of flood waters on the flat land impaired cultivation and caused damage. The records document efforts to redress the situation posed by damage to the public health.
