Canal Aqueduct

It has been bypassed by the creek that once flowed through it. The canal flowed across the top through an earthen trench and later the C&O railroad on the towpath, but that is now also relocated. Fine example of the stonework construction of an aqueduct. Location: Narrow Passage.

James River

at Buchanan. The Rt. 11 bridge is in the background with the suspension walkway bridge in the foreground. The suspension bridge was constructed on the stonework of the 1800's covered bridge and the canal boats docked along stonework which is still visible along the grass covered bank on the right. Water level in canal days was much higher due to a dam below town.
