1895 Map of Rouse Point

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

Fort Montgomery stands at the northernmost edge of this borderlands survey, guarding the strategic narrows where Lake Champlain flows toward the international boundary. This late-19th-century landscape is defined by its complex shoreline of points and bays, linked by the Central Vermont R.R. and the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. R. R. through Rouse Point. The map details the maritime infrastructure of the era, including the Windmill Pt. L.H. and Isle La Motte L.H., which guided commercial traffic through the La Motte Passage. Inland, the agricultural and hydraulic importance of the Big Chazy River and Little Chazy River is evident, supporting settlements like Champlain and Coopersville. The dense concentration of named points such as Point au Fer and Point au Roche reflects a well-established riverine and lake economy before the modern highway era.
