About this map

Plattsburgh anchors this Lake Champlain landscape, where the Saranac River and Salmon River meet the western shore. The city's mid-2010s layout is defined by the massive footprint of the Plattsburgh International Airport and the residential expansion into Halseys Corners and Plattsburgh West. This survey highlights the complex shoreline of Cumberland Head, a peninsula separating Treadwell Bay from Cumberland Bay.

Genealogical and institutional landmarks are particularly well-represented, including the Clinton Community Coll campus and several historic burial grounds such as Saint Pierce Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Gilliland Cem. The transportation corridor is shaped by the D & H RR line running south toward South Junction, while the waters of Lake Champlain reveal offshore features like Crab Island, Valcour Island, and the shallow Valcour Shoal.
