1945 Map of Port Henry

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this 1945 survey, dividing the lakeside communities of New York and Vermont. On the western shore, the village of Port Henry and the hillside town of Westport are linked by the Delaware & Hudson RR, while the Champlain Bridge provides a vital crossing point at Chimney Point. The map highlights the area's deep colonial history through the Fort St Frederic Ruins and Fort Crown Point Ruins at the southern narrows. Across the water in Vermont, the landscape transitions into the agricultural plains of Addison and Panton, where numerous local schools like Smith Sch and Webster Sch dot the rural road network. The maritime character of the region is evident in the detailed mapping of inlets such as Button Bay and North West Bay, which supported both local industry and the transportation of goods via the Rutland RR near Vergennes.
