About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this late-century landscape, where the waters of North West Bay meet the steep eastern slopes of the Adirondack Mountains. The shoreline is characterized by a series of deep inlets and rocky points, including Snake Den Harbor and Basin Harbor, which have long supported seasonal recreation at sites like Camp Dudley and Camp Normandie. On the New York shore, the village of Westport serves as a local hub, featuring the Westport Central Sch and St Philips Neri Ch.

Across the water in Vermont, the terrain softens into the agricultural flats of Panton and Ferrisburg. This transition from the Adirondack wilderness of Adirondack Park to the lowlands of the Little Otter Creek valley is marked by extensive conservation areas. Genealogists will find interest in several lakeside burial grounds, such as Riverside Cem and Adams Cem, while the industrial history of the lake is hinted at by Ore Bed Pt near the narrows.
