1902 Map of Whitehall

About this map

Whitehall stands at the strategic nexus of New York and Vermont, where the Champlain Canal and Barge Canal converge near the southern tip of Lake Champlain. The landscape is dominated by the narrow, mountain-flanked waters of South Bay and the dramatic relief of Bald Mountain and Skene Mt., which loom over the industrial and transport corridors. The mapping illustrates a complex network of 19th-century infrastructure, including the Champlain Division Delaware and Hudson R. R. and the Rutland R. R. that facilitated trade between the Hudson Valley and the north.
