2019 Map of Rouses Point

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this borderland landscape, where the international and state boundaries intersect near Rouses Point and the Alburg Tongue. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between land and water in the Champlain Valley, highlighting the series of points and reefs such as Windmill Point and Point au Fer Reef that have long dictated navigation. On the Vermont side, the map details the rural character of Alburgh and the island community of Isle la Motte, which is connected by a network of local roads including Main St and Church St. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Bush Cem and the Reynolds McGregor Cem, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Rouses Point Bridge and the small Hawk's Nest Airport. The mapping of features like Stanhope Hill and Big Bluff provides a clear view of the localized topography that defines these lakeside settlements.
