1945 Map of Port Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the lakeside villages and mountainous terrain of New York from the rolling farmlands of Vermont. The landscape around Port Henry and Westport is marked by the industrial and military history of the region, visible in the Delaware and Hudson railroad line and the prominent Fort St Frederic Ruins at the tip of Crown Point. On the Vermont shore, a dense network of country schools like Potash Sch and West Panton Sch reflects a settled agricultural community in Addison Co. The terrain is characterized by numerous bays and points, such as North West Bay and Basin Harbor, which supported recreational landmarks like Camp Dudley and the Ecole Champlain. The inclusion of Furnace Pt and Ore Bed Pt hints at the area's earlier mining and smelting activities that once utilized the lake for transport.
