1980 Map of Port Henry

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the dominant axis of this 1980 survey, marking the border between New York and Vermont. On the western shore, Port Henry anchors the landscape beneath the rising peaks of the Adirondack Park, including Bald Peak and Cheney Mtn. This area reflects a deep historical layer, preserved at the narrows where Chimney Point and Crown Point nearly meet. Here, the Fort St Frederic Ruins and Port Crown Point Ruins stand as physical markers of colonial-era military strategy, overseen by a Lighthouse and connected by the Lake Champlain Bridge. To the east in Vermont, the terrain shifts from the high ridges of Snake Mountain to the sprawling wetlands of the Dead Creek WMA. The presence of the Delaware and Hudson railroad and numerous family-named burial sites like Walton Cem and Spear Cem provides a detailed look at the region's infrastructure and genealogy.
