About this map

Fort Ticonderoga and the strategic narrows of Lake Champlain anchor this mid-century topographic survey of the borderlands between New York and Vermont. The landscape is defined by the historic military geography of the Lake Champlain-Lake George corridor, where the Delaware and Hudson RR traces the western shore and the Rutland RR serves the Vermont interior. Beyond the military sites, the map details a settled rural economy represented by numerous small hamlets like Crown Point Center, West Bridport, and Street Road.

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, from the Spar Mine on Miller Mountain to the Ticonderoga Airport and the network of local schools like the Hough Crossing School. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and numerous cemeteries, including St Marys Cem and the Meadow Knoll Cem, which reflect the long-standing community roots in the Champlain Valley.
