Historic Map - Ticonderoga, NY - 1884
Description
Ticonderoga, N.Y. Printed & drawn by L. R. Burleigh. Beck & Pauli, litho.
This reproduction bird's-eye view map of Ticonderoga, New York was published by Lucien R. Burleigh in 1884. Ticonderoga is a town in Essex County that lies between Lake George and Lake Champlain, a crossing point that had been used by the Native Americans in the region for thousands of years. Formed in 1804, from part of the town of Crown Point, Ticonderoga developed several mills along the fast moving La Chute River that manufactured paper, lead pencils and other wooden products. The nearby Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, was an important stronghold during the French and Indian War, as well as the American Revolutionary War. Lord Howe's Monument was erected to honor the young nobleman Brigadier General Lord Howe, who was ambushed and killed by the French at Fort Ticonderoga in 1758.
This panoramic illustrated map from 1884 shows buildings, railroad route and clearly labeled streets.
