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.
