Description
An account of the resource
During the 19th century it was estimated that the Black River generated some 135,000 horsepower along its course during the dry season. Just within the city limits of Watertown, NY the river dropped 110 feet, meaning that manufacturing concerns generally drove planning decisions. The suspension bridge pictured here, overlooking the picturesque Black River Falls, probably was intended for functional purposes .
