This reproduction bird's-eye view of Port Henry, New York was published by
Lucien R. Burleigh in 1889. Port Henry is located on the west shore of Lake
Champlain at the north end of Bulwagga Bay. A popular Native American hunting
and fishing ground in early times, timber harvesting and land clearing became
prominent after the first saw mill was built in 1765. By the mid-1800s, there
were twenty mills. The lumber was rafted north to Canada, and when the Champlain
Canal was opened the lumber was floated southward on the new waterway. A mile
and a half north of Port Henry large iron beds were discovered and workers began
piling the iron on sleds and dragging them into town. The Witherbee, Sherman &
Company and other firms began seriously mining the ore around 1853. At the time
of this map's publishing Port Henry was busy harvesting smelt and was well known
for its winter ice fishing.
This panoramic view map of Port Henry from
1889 shows labeled streets, buildings and railroad line.
