1950 Map of Ticonderoga

About this map

Fort Ticonderoga stands as the historic centerpiece of this mid-century survey, guarding the strategic narrows where Lake Champlain meets the waters flowing from Lake George. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of South Mountain and Mt Defiance, overlooking the village of Ticonderoga and its industrial corridor along Ticonderoga Creek. Local history is deeply etched into the hills, from the inactive graphite and mineral workings at Lead Hill to the scattered rural landmarks like Lower Chilson Sch and Log Chapel. Transportation networks of the era are clearly visible, including the Delaware and Hudson railroad line and the Larrabees Point Ferry crossing into Vermont. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Mt Hope Cem and Meadow Knoll Cem, alongside established institutional sites like Camp Adirondack and the Ticonderoga Country Club.
