About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the dominant north-south corridor in this late 19th-century reconnaissance survey, defining the border between New York and Vermont. The strategic importance of the narrows is anchored by the Ticonderoga Ruin and Fort Ticonderoga, alongside military landmarks like Mt. Independence and Mr. Defiance. The landscape is a mix of steep lakeside bluffs and interior agricultural settlements such as Shoreham and Orwell.

Industrial activity is noted through Iron Ore extractions near Crown Point, while the era's transportation network is represented by the Delaware and Hudson R. R. and the Rutland R. R.. Waterborne transit is evident through steamer routes connecting points like Larrabees Point and Baldwin. Local geography is further detailed by family-named landmarks including Rogers Rock and Anthonys Nose, as well as numerous interior ponds such as Sunset Lake and Sunrise Lake.
