1945 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing New York and Vermont along a shoreline defined by deep harbors and military history. On the western shore, the village of Westport and the landing at Port Henry anchor the local economy, while the rugged terrain of the Adirondacks rises sharply through peaks like Bald Peak and The Pinnacle. The landscape preserves significant colonial history at the southern narrows, where the Fort St Frederic Ruins and Fort Crown Point Ruins stand near Chimney Point. Across the water in Vermont, the terrain shifts to the fertile lowlands of Addison and Panton, characterized by a dense network of rural schools including Potash Sch and Sand Road Sch. The Otter Creek corridor leads to the historic city of Vergennes, while the Rutland railroad line traces the eastern edge of the map, illustrating the persistent importance of rail and river transit in the Champlain Valley.
