1895 Map of Rouse Point

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Fort Montgomery stands at the northern edge of this late nineteenth-century survey, guarding the critical transition where Lake Champlain narrows into the Richelieu River at the Canadian border. The map illustrates a complex maritime and rail hub centered on Rouse Point, where the Central Vermont R. R. and G. T. R. R. converge to cross the water. The landscape is defined by the deep indentations of King Bay and Monty Bay, with the islands of Isle La Motte and North Hero framing the eastern passages. Smaller settlements like Coopersville and Chazy are linked by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. R. R., while the shoreline is dotted with navigational aids like the Isle La Motte L. H. and Point au Roche L. H., reflecting the era's heavy reliance on both lake traffic and international rail commerce.
