| Dam at Jones Falls; when nearly completed, showing the last temporary passage provided for surplus water, 1831 Thomas Burrowes, watercolour (Archives of Ontario - from Passfield, 1982) |
| This dam blocked off the original channel of the Cataraqui River at Jones Falls. Visible at the left rear of the painting is a road on the far side (west) of the channel leading to pits where clay and gravel were excavated to form the front apron of the dam. Small carts were used to transport this material, across a bridge, to the dam. Part of this bridge can be seen behind the gap of the upper sluice. |
