2010 Map of Fort Ann

About this map

Champlain Canal serves as the central artery for this section of Washington County, winding northward past Fort Ann and Comstock. The map documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Orebed Hill and The Pinnacle in the north to the historic terrain of Battle Hill overlooking the canal valley. This 2010 survey details a region where water management and transportation have long shaped settlement patterns, as seen in the collection of ponds such as Dolph Pond and Beaver Pond feeding into Halfway Creek. Genealogy researchers will find multiple burial sites preserved, including Welch Hollow Cemetery and Baker Cemetery. The map captures the interface between the low-lying Cedar Swamp and the surrounding high ground of Bull Hill, illustrating how the local road network, including Co Rd 17 and Ryder Rd, navigates the complex hydrology of the Winchell Creek basin.
