Description
Mystery area between locks #1 and #2. Photo courtesy Google World. Regulating works to maintain the water level in the basin? Or a reservoir to hold the water drained from lock #2, to be reused when filling lock #1?

  probably hypothesis 2, the intermediate pool between the locks would need somewhere to send the extra water in lowering the ships, it could then be re used in the next lock, im surprised there is no overflow though, both the reach between st lambert and ste cat and the basin between both b'nois locks have some sort of overflow

  Actually, there is an overflow related structure in this picture. Just below lock #1, a little below the top right edge of the 'mystery area', I spotted a hunk of concrete all bundled up in chain link fence. Not enough time to check it out in detail, but the mystery area does appear to drain out towards the 'lagoon' just south of the guard pier.

And yet another mystery... the 3 vertical stripes in the middle bottom of the 'mystery area'. From the road I could see that these were long gone concrete foundations, but for what... who knows?

  From the bottom left corner, go 60% right, and 25% up.
