1950 Map of Ticonderoga

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Fort Ticonderoga and the adjacent Ruins stand at the strategic narrows where La Chute connects Lake George to Lake Champlain. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape deeply influenced by its military history and topographic constraints, with the village of Ticonderoga clustered near the falls of the river. The corridor between the lakes is defined by the Delaware and Hudson railroad and the presence of several landmarks like Mt Defiance and Mount Independence across the state line in Vermont. To the south and west, the terrain rises sharply into the mountains, where small settlements like Lower Chilson and its Lower Chilson Sch sit among the ridges. Along the northern reaches of Lake George, the shoreline is dotted with recreational and commemorative sites, from the Log Chapel and Indian Kettles to the family-named landings and points that mark the transition from industrial waterway to summer retreat.
