2019 Map of Plattsburgh

About this map

Plattsburgh sits at the confluence of the Saranac River and Lake Champlain, serving as a vital regional center near the New York and Vermont border. This modern landscape reveals the footprint of the former air base, now the Plattsburgh International Airport, which dominates the southern portion of the city. Education and governance define the urban core, anchored by the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and the Clinton County Government Center. The jagged shoreline of Cumberland Bay is marked by distinctive geological features like Cumberland Head and Rocky Point, while the interior is punctuated by historic burial grounds including Riverside Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. The map also traces the Salmon River as it approaches the lake, highlighting the transition from the dense street grids of Parc to the coastal enclave of Cliff Haven.
