1945 Map of Port Henry

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the focal point of this 1945 survey, dividing the shoreline of New York and Vermont. The landscape is defined by the historic military sites at Crown Point, where the Fort St Frederic Ruins and Fort Crown Point Ruins stand as reminders of colonial-era fortifications. These landmarks are connected across the narrows to Vermont by the Lake Champlain Bridge. To the west, the New York side features the steep elevations of Split Rock Mountain and the settlement of Port Henry, while the eastern Vermont shore is characterized by fertile lowlands and meandering waterways like Otter Creek and Dead Creek.
