I bet this is looking to the southwest, just west of the village with Old rt 31/Clinton Ave in the background.

Looks like it could be the western edge of the village running parallel to Clinton St. The large barn closest to the viewer is gone, but the one in the background, on the hill is still there. That's the Yawney farm, right at the village line.

I've seen those in canal museums in every village along the canal. Very popular tool.
