About this map

The settlement of Westport anchors this shoreline survey along the western edge of Lake Champlain, where the landscape transitions from the lake's many bays to the rising peaks of the Adirondacks. Inland, the Boquet River winds past Wadhams, a small community situated at a river bend. The topography is defined by numerous named summits, including Hoisington Mtn, Stanton Hill, and Split Rock Mtn to the north, which overlook a complex coastline of inlets such as North West Bay and Rock Harbor.

Transport and access are detailed through a network of local routes like Lakeshore Rd and Elizabethtown-Wadhams Rd, which connect the lakeside landings to the interior. The map documents significant local landmarks like Furnace Point and the sprawling Webb Royce Swamp, alongside numerous family-named hills like Bart Royce Hill and Ainger Hill. These features reveal a long-established pattern of settlement where the lake provided the primary axis for trade and travel in this corner of the New York and Vermont border.
