1898 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Port Henry and the surrounding shores of Lake Champlain define this 1890s-era landscape, where the maritime and rail commerce of New York and Vermont converge. The map documents a busy transportation network, including the Champlain Transportation Co. Steamer Route and the Delaware and Hudson R. R. winding along the western cliffs. Historical depth is evident at the southern narrows, where the French Fort Ruins and Crown Pt. Fort Ruins overlook the water at Crown Point. Across the lake in Vermont, the terrain transitions from the lowlands around Dead Creek and Otter Creek to the prominent rise of Snake Mountain. Industrial and milling history is rooted at Wadhams Mills, while established settlements like Vergennes and Westport serve as hubs for the region's late-19th-century agricultural and commercial activity.
