1966 Map of Champlain

About this map

The Great Chazy River flows toward its outlet in Lake Champlain during the mid-1960s, anchoring a landscape of established border towns and agricultural research. The village of Champlain sits at a critical junction where the Adirondack Northway crosses the river, while to the east, the lakeside community of Rouses Point marks the northeastern corner of the state near the United States Canada border. Local infrastructure reflects both historical roots and mid-century modernizations, from the active Delaware and Hudson railroad line to the Plattsburgh AFB Auxiliary Site. Institutional landmarks such as the William H Miner Agricultural Research Institute and several parish cemeteries, including St Patricks Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, highlight the long-standing community foundations in this region of northern Clinton County.
