1895 Map of Rouse Point

About this map

Fort Montgomery stands at the very northern edge of this Lake Champlain survey, positioned strategically near the international border with the Dominion of Canada. This 1890s landscape is defined by the heavy rail influence of the Central Vermont R.R. and the Rutland R.R., which converge at the vital transportation hub of Rouse Point. The map details the intricate shoreline of Isle La Motte and the surrounding waters, including Isle La Motte Passage and Alburg Passage. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the Chazy River and its various tributaries, supporting long-established settlements such as Champlain and Chazy. The inclusion of the Champlain Canal and multiple light stations, including the Isle La Motte L.H. and Point au Roche L.H., illustrates a late 19th-century economy deeply reliant on both maritime navigation and the burgeoning reach of the railroad companies.
