About this map

Whitehall serves as a critical junction where the northern reaches of the Champlain Canal meet the South Bay of Lake Champlain. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense town center bounded by Skene Mountain and the water, showing the intricate canal infrastructure including the Champlain Canal Bridge and local maritime facilities like the Lock Twelve Marina. The surrounding landscape is defined by the convergence of the Mettawee River, Wood Creek, and Mud Brook, creating the marshy lowlands of Billings Marsh and Schoolhouse Marsh to the north.

Local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Boardman Cem, Williams Street Cem, and the Our Lady of Angels Cem. Beyond the developed village, the terrain rises sharply toward landmarks such as Bald Mountain, West Mountain, and the Devils Pulpit. The map also captures the South Bay Causeway and the northern edge of the Adirondack Park Preserve, highlighting the region's role as a gateway between the canal system and the wilderness.
