About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central focal point of this 1980 survey, dividing the Adirondack foothills of New York from the lowlands of Vermont. On the western shore, the village of Westport is a primary hub of activity, featuring its Golf Course, Westport Airport, and the historic Camp Dudley at the edge of North West Bay. The Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks run parallel to the coast, passing through the hamlet of Wadhams and navigating the steep terrain beneath Split Rock Mountain.

Across the water in Vermont, the landscape transitions to a network of slangs and wetlands, including Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area and Little Otter Creek Wildlife Management Area. The city of Vergennes is situated along Otter Creek, while smaller settlements like Panton and Ferrisburg are connected by a grid of rural roads. This edition documents the established recreational and conservation infrastructure of the late 20th century, from Button Bay State Park to the numerous bays and landings that define the interstate shoreline.
