1898 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the Champlain Transportation Co. Steamer Route connects the New York and Vermont shorelines. The map captures a high-water mark for the regional economy, depicting the industrial presence of Port Henry and the established rail networks of the Delaware & Hudson R. R. and the Central Vermont R. R. On the Vermont side, the ancient settlement of Vergennes sits at the head of navigation on Otter Creek, while the historic fortifications at Crown Point are clearly marked with both French Fort Ruins and English Fort Ruins. This survey highlights the era's reliance on the lake for both heavy transport and local trade, featuring numerous small harbors like Basin Harbor and Westport that served as vital nodes before the full dominance of overland trucking.
