1902 Map of Ticonderoga

About this map

Lake Champlain and Lake George converge in this detailed late 19th-century study, revealing a landscape defined by strategic military history and a bustling turn-of-the-century transport network. The presence of Fort Ticonderoga and the Ticonderoga Ruin near the shores of Lake Champlain anchors the map in the colonial past, while the contemporary era is represented by a dense web of rail lines and ferry points. The Delaware and Hudson R.R. and its Baldwin Branch connect the lakes, supporting the movement of Steamers that plied these waters. Settlement patterns are concentrated at industrial and transit hubs like Ticonderoga, Crown Point Center, and Addison Junction. High ground features like Mt. Defiance and Rogers Slide provide clear context for the area's geography, while scattered landmarks such as Indian Kettles and Anthonys Nose offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family landholdings.
