1902 Map of Ticonderoga

About this map

Lake Champlain and Lake George converge in this survey, showcasing the vital military and transit corridor of the late nineteenth century. The landscape is dominated by the legendary fortifications at Ft. Ticonderoga Ruin and Fort Ticonderoga, positioned strategically between Mt. Defiance and Mt. Independence. The map captures a moment when traditional waterborne transport and industrial growth existed side-by-side, with New York & Vermont Lake Champlain Steamers plying the lake while the Delaware & Hudson R.R. and Rutland R.R. connected the surrounding towns.
