Historic Lake Champlain Maps   -   Library of Congress
Photos of the uncataloged maps of the Lake, from the "shelf maps" at LC.

This site has photographs of the historic maps of Lake Champlain filed at the Library of Congress in Washington DC.  Click on a small image to view each photo.  These maps are from the Library's "shelf maps", maps which are  not cataloged.     These maps can be downloaded and printed for further study.

Many of these maps are copies of maps found in European archives.  In the 1930s an American researcher (Karpinski) scoured the archives of France and England (and other countries) looking for maps of the United States. The most interesting of these maps of Lake Champlain come from that effort.

The maps will not be easily legible, as they are not scans, but photographs.  However, most details and words can be discerned, and we expect that readers will find value in this presentation.  Slightly better copies are available from Old Maps (send an email), but for best quality, contact the Library of Congress, Geography & Maps Division.
