1945 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the borderlands between New York and Vermont. The landscape is defined by the narrow passage of the lake, where history remains visible at the Fort Crown Point Ruins and Fort St Frederic Ruins near Chimney Point. To the west, the Adirondack foothills rise sharply through peaks like Bald Peak and Cheney Mtn, while the eastern shore in Addison County unfolds into the agricultural flats of Panton and Addison. The mapping captures a network of rural life tied to the water, from the summer settlements at Basin Harbor to the established Rutland railroad line connecting the valley’s industries. Small-scale local geography is densely documented through numerous family-named landmarks, such as Vanderhoof Sch and Gage Cem, providing a window into the communal structure of these lakeside townships before modern expansion altered the rural character.
