1939 Map of Plattsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Plattsburg Barracks and the adjoining Plattsburg Training Camp dominate the shoreline of Lake Champlain in this pre-war survey. The map details the strategic and recreational importance of the waterfront, from the Municipal Beach to the sprawling grounds of the Hotel Champlain at Bluff Pt. Transportation networks are well-defined, showing the Rutland Railroad traversing Grand Isle and the Delaware and Hudson line serving the mainland. To the south, the dramatic geology of the Ausable River is preserved within Ausable Chasm State Park near Keeseville. On the Vermont side, the rural character of South Hero is dotted with local institutions like the Pearl Sch and Westerly Chapel. The inclusion of the Sand Bar Bridge and several ferry routes illustrates the vital connections between the lake islands and the New York coast.
