1980 Map of Willsboro Bay

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates the center of this study, marking the state boundary between New York and Vermont in the early 1980s. On the western shore, the Adirondack Park boundary encompasses a series of steep summits including Rattlesnake Mtn and Skagerack Mtn, which drop sharply toward the waters of Willsboro Bay. This area illustrates a distinct shift from the upland wilderness to the shoreline communities and recreational hubs like the Willsboro Point peninsula. The Delaware and Hudson railroad line hugs the coast, providing a critical transportation link between the interior mountains and the lakefront.
