2023 Map of Rouses Point

About this map

The complex shoreline of northern Lake Champlain dominates this borderlands geography, where the state lines of New York and Vermont meet. On the western shore, the village of Rouses Point serves as a critical transit hub, historically linked to the Vermont side by the Alburg Rouses Point Ferry. Across the water, the Alburg Tongue extends southward, a peninsula defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Bush Cem, Alburg Center Cem, and the Reynolds McGregor Cem near Mud Point. Further south, the island of Isle la Motte features the Saint Anne's Shrine Columbarium and Saint Joseph Cem near Blanchard Bay. The aquatic landscape is equally detailed, noting navigation hazards like Windmill Point Reef and Point au Fer Reef, alongside numerous small islands such as Pine Island and Hemlock Island.
