2016 Map of Port Henry

About this map

Port Henry and Mineville anchor the western shore of Lake Champlain on this survey, where the Adirondack landscape meets the water. The map traces the historic connections between these New York settlements and the Vermont shore, most notably via the Lake Champlain Toll Bridge at Chimney Point. This crossing point is a central geographical feature, linking the industrial and mining legacy of the New York hills to the more agricultural landscape around West Addison. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Bald Peak and Cheney Mtn, which drop toward the shoreline at Bulwagga Bay and Craig Harbor. Numerous small burial grounds, including Saint Patrick Cem and the Union Cem, are documented throughout the hills, providing valuable data for genealogists tracking local families in this border region. The presence of both Yankee Kingdom Airport and Staton Airport highlights the transport infrastructure serving the lake's eastern and western banks.
