About this map

Ticonderoga sits at the strategic confluence where the waters of Lake George descend through La Chute into Lake Champlain. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Champlain Valley, dominated by prominent heights such as Mt Defiance and Mt Independence which historically commanded the water passage. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, with the main village of Ticonderoga flanked by outlying communities like Baldwin and Glenburnie.

Transport and land use are etched into the terrain, from the Ticonderoga Municipal Airport to the numerous landings along the shoreline like Rogers Rock and Friends Point. The map provides significant genealogical and local history detail, noting locations for Mount Hope Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Meadow Knoll Cem. The boundary of the Adirondack Park encompasses much of the western highlands, including Three Brothers and Cooks Mtn, contrasting the dense woods with the developed lakeside corridor.
