1943 Map of Willsboro

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates the eastern half of this mid-century survey, defining the rugged coastline of Essex County as it meets the Vermont shore. The interior landscape is shaped by the steep peaks of the Adirondack State Park, including Rattlesnake Mtn and East Bouquet Mtn, which overlook a network of valley settlements. The industrial and transport backbone of the era is evident in the path of the Delaware and Hudson RR hugging the shoreline through Willsboro and Whallonsburg, while the Rutland RR serves the Vermont side near Charlotte. Local life is recorded through numerous rural landmarks, from the Brookfield Sch and St Josephs Ch to the lakeside enclave of Craterclub. The map captures the transition from the high Adirondack timberlands to the fertile maritime corridor of the lake before post-war development altered these small communities.
