2023 Map of Port Henry

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central divide in this modern survey, separating the New York shoreline of Essex Co from the Vermont side of Addison Co. The western terrain is dominated by the mountainous landscape of the Adirondack Park, where elevations rise sharply at Bald Peak and Cheney Mountain above the lakeside village of Port Henry. This area retains its industrial and settlement character through Mineville and numerous family and community burial sites, including Saint Patrick Cem and Moriah Union Cem. Across the water, the topography of West Addison is significantly flatter, defined by agricultural reaches and drainage systems like Hospital Creek. The strategic narrows of the lake are anchored by Chimney Point and Crown Point, connected by the Bridge Rd corridor, reflecting the historical importance of this crossing point for transit between the two states.
