2016 Map of Whitehall

About this map

Whitehall sits at the southern terminus of Lake Champlain, where the historic Champlain Canal meets the Mettawee River and Wood Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex intersection of waterborne transport and rail infrastructure, centered on the Champlain Canal Bridge. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Skene Mtn and West Mtn, which frame the narrow valley where the village developed. To the west, the Adirondack Park Preserve protects the high ground of Black Lead Hill and the unique landform known as the Diameter. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds in the vicinity, including Boardman Cem, Neddo Cem, and the dual cemeteries near The Elbow — Rodd-Elbow Cem and Adams-Elbow Cem. The geography is further defined by extensive wetlands like Duso Marsh and the Drowned Lands along the state border.
