About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the central divide in this 1980 survey, where the Adirondack Park foothills of New York meet the fertile lowlands of Vermont. On the western shore, the village of Westport is a focal point of activity, featuring the Westport Sch, a marina, and the tracks of the Delaware and Hudson railroad running parallel to the coast. The topography here is defined by significant elevations like Hoisington Mtn and The Pinnacle, contrasting sharply with the flatter terrain around Vergennes and Ferrisburg on the eastern side.

Conservation and recreation land dominates much of the shoreline, from Button Bay State Park to the extensive Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds such as Riverside Cem and Weeks Cem scattered across the landscape. The map also documents the transition of local infrastructure, including the Westport Airport and the Basin Harbor Airport, alongside established institutions like Camp Dudley and Camp Normandie.
