About this map

Lake Champlain defines the eastern geography of this region, where the prominent peninsula of Cumberland Head reaches into the water to form Cumberland Bay. The landscape is a mix of dense municipal development and coastal landforms, anchored by the Saranac River and Salmon River as they flow toward the lake. Several established settlements including Parc, Cliff Haven, and South Plattsburgh are visible alongside significant transportation infrastructure, most notably the Plattsburgh International Airport and the north-south corridor of I-87.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds documented, such as Stafford Cem, Riverside Cem, and Gilliland Cem. The map also captures the industrial and recreational character of the area, from the D & H RR rail lines to the Airborne Speedway and The Barracks Golf Course. Farther out in the lake, the isolated terrain of Crab Island and Valcour Island provides a glimpse into the offshore geography of the Clinton County coastline.
