About this map

Plattsburgh serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated where the Saranac River meets the waters of Champlain Lake. The landscape is defined by its strategic military and educational institutions, featuring the sprawling Plattsburgh Air Force Base and the State Teachers College. Navigational history is evident through the Cumberland Head Lighthouse and Valcour Lighthouse, which guided vessels through the complex waters of Cumberland Bay and past islands like Valcour Island and Grand Isle.
