About this map

The waters of Lake Champlain define this borderland region where New York and Vermont meet the international boundary with Canada. At the northern tip of the lake, the Rouses Point Bridge connects the village of Rouses Point to the Alburg Tongue in Vermont, passing near the historic Fort Montgomery (ruins). This late 20th-century landscape is a complex mix of agricultural land and state-managed conservation areas, such as the Mud Creek State Waterfowl Area and the Lake Alice State Game Management Area.

Inland from the lake, the Great Chazy River winds through the village of Champlain, while several cemeteries and churches, including St Marys Church and St Patricks Church, serve the local communities. The presence of the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Auxiliary Site and the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute highlights the region's roles in national defense and scientific study during this era.
