1956 Map of Willsboro

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this 1950s perspective of the Adirondack coast, where the Bouquet River meets the deep waters of Willsboro Bay. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of the Adirondack State Park, including Bigelow Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, down to the fertile shoreline plains of Essex and Willsboro. This era shows a well-established transportation network, with the Delaware and Hudson railroad hugging the coast while the ferry connects Charlotte on the Vermont side to the New York shore. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous rural landmarks, from the Lady of Hope Shrine near the lake to the Whallon Bay Sch and remote upland burials like Reber Cem. The map reveals the early development of lakeside communities such as Craterclub and the seasonal character of Willsboro Point.
