1896 Map of Ticonderoga

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Fort Ticonderoga and the nearby Ticonderoga Ruin dominate the strategic narrows of Lake Champlain in this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is a corridor of military history and early industrial transit, where the Central Vermont R. R. meets the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. R. R. at Addison Junction. High ground like Mt. Defiance and Mt. Independence overlooks the water, while the eastern shore is dotted with agricultural and lake-side settlements such as Shoreham, Bridport, and Larrabees Point. Further south, the map captures the northern reach of Lake George, featuring landmarks like Rogers Slide and Anthonys Nose. The survey reveals a region transitioning from its storied colonial defenses into a hub of rail commerce and local industry, evident in the detailed placement of schools, mills, and landings along the Route of Steamers.
