About this map

Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Defiance anchor this landscape at the strategic junction where Lake Champlain meets the waters of Lake George. This mid-1980s compilation illustrates the intersection of the Adirondack Park to the west and the Green Mountain National Forest to the east, divided by the New York-Vermont state line. The map highlights the legacy of early defense and industry, from the Mount Independence State Historic Site across the water from Ticonderoga to the Ore Bed located near Brandon.

Regional transit and education are well-defined, showing the Delaware and Hudson RR corridor and the presence of Castleton State College and Green Mountain College. The terrain transitions from the Tongue Mountain Range and Pharaoh Mountain in the west to the Taconic Mountains in the east. Numerous recreational and conservation areas are present, including Bomoseen State Park and the Cornwall Swamp Wildlife Management Area, reflecting the transition from the high peaks to the fertile valley of Otter Creek.
