1902 Map of Whitehall

About this map

Whitehall serves as the focal point of this late nineteenth-century survey, situated where the Champlain Division Delaware and Hudson RR and the Champlain Canal converge at the southern tip of Lake Champlain. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the water-level rail and canal routes to the prominent heights of Bald Mountain and Shaw Mountain. This area illustrates the critical nineteenth-century transport corridor between New York and Vermont, showing the intricate network of landings and small stations such as Benson Landing, Putnam Station, and Chubbs Dock that facilitated movement along the narrow waterway.
