About this map

Adirondack Park dominates the western half of this study, where the peaks of Trembleau Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn overlook the deep waters of Lake Champlain. The landscape is a mix of dense forest and recreational outposts, including Camp Lincoln and Camp Pokamoonshine near the southern edge. Along the coast, the narrow peninsula of Willsboro Point extends into the lake, sheltering Willsboro Bay from the main body of water and the distant shoreline of Burlington on the Vermont side.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with the Adirondack Northway and the Delaware and Hudson railroad skirting the high ground. Near the northern boundary, the Ausable River flows through Keeseville, a primary hub of settlement. Offshore, the map details numerous maritime hazards and landmarks, from Schuyler Island to the isolated cluster of The Four Brothers, reflecting the lake's importance for both commerce and recreation during the late twentieth century.
