p. 359379 Rivers The Catfish river or Outlet of the Four Lakes, between the Fourth and Third Lakes, one mile, has a width of from sixty to one hundred feet and a depth of three feet except near the Fourt Lake where the width is only thirty five feet, and the depth two: the descent is estimated at a little less than two feet. Between the Third and Second Lakes the descent is but very little; the average width is about three hundred and fifty feet; and the depth varies from one to nine feet; distance seven eighths of a mile. Between the Second and First Lakes three and a half miles, there are three slight rapids having a total descent of about two feet; and the depth of water varies from one to three or four feet. From the [outlet of the] First Lake to Dunkirk Falls, nine miles, there is but little fall in the river, the water being usually deep and about one hundred and thirty feet average width. The best method of improving the navigation of this stream would probably be, to build a dam at this point about six feet high which would increase sufficiently the depth of the channel, and bring all the Lakes to 211 | p. 359379 Rivers The Catfish river or Outlet of the Four Lakes, between the Fourth and Third Lakes, one mile, has a width of from sixty to one hundred feet and a depth of three feet except near the Fourt Lake where the width is only thirty five feet, and the depth two: the descent is estimated at a little less than two feet.
