Wow, the canal really does show up. When I became familiar with Boonton in the late 1950s, much of that area seemed to have been filled in. This was a relatively short stretch of canal between planes. Just beyond the lower left side of the picture the canal's Montville Plane is located. My grandmother's brother-in-law had a house in that location that was razed when 287 was built: Elmer Zieliff. He was a farmer and also worked for a hat manufacturer in New York commuting on the Lackawanna from Montville station in the teens through the 40's.
