About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central artery for this region of the Adirondacks, separating the New York shoreline from Vermont. On the western bank, the village of Port Henry sits beneath a series of named peaks including Burns Mountain, Cheney Mountain, and Quinn Mountain. The landscape is dotted with family and church-related burial grounds such as Saint Patrick Cemetery, Walton Cemetery, and the Union Cemetery, reflecting the long-established settlement patterns of Essex County.

A network of points and bays defines the waterfront, where the Lake Champlain Toll Bridge connects Chimney Point to the New York side near Crown Point. Navigational landmarks like the Crown Point Light and recreation areas such as Griffins Ten Acre Campground underscore the lake's importance to both history and tourism. Further inland, smaller waterways like McKenzie Brook and Mill Brook drain the highland terrain toward the broad expanse of Bulwagga Bay.
