While reading online about the Morris Canal that ran all over this area,I saw this picture.. if you notice in the background it's the Bowden Bottling Works in Boonton NJ.. I never saw a picture of the place and I have two Blobs from there.

I think that's right to the left of the light that goes over the tracks now as you head into the center of town, nice catch.... Here's a pic of the canal bridge in Little Falls from around 1870 that I have...

Hey Jim...

I lived in Lake Hiawatha for many years and as a kid, we used to sneek into the Boonton reservoir to go fishing. I had been told that there were some buildings from a small town that had been submerged when they made the reservoir. Any truth to that? is this where these buildings may have been?
