1943 Map of Plattsburg

Navigational landmarks like Cumberland Head L H and Valcour L H guide traffic through the narrows, past islands such as Stave I and Savage Island. Inland, the landscape is dotted with local institutions like Scomotion Sch, Westerly Chapel, and the grand Hotel Champlain at Cliff Haven. From the mouth of the Saranac River to the wetlands of Wickham Marsh, the map documents a region where lake-based commerce and early 20th-century tourism intersected with established mill towns like Laphams Mills.
