1907 Map of Rouses Point

About this map

Fort Montgomery stands at the northern edge of this survey where the Boundary Line separates the United States from the Dominion of Canada. This early 20th-century landscape is defined by the vital transit routes across the northern reaches of Lake Champlain. The Rutland RR and Central Vermont RR bridge the water, connecting island communities like Isle La Motte and Alburg to the mainland. These rail corridors, alongside the C.T. Co. Steamers routes, were the lifeblood of a regional economy built on movement between Rouses Point and the Vermont shores.
