This reproduction panoramic map of Plattsburgh, New York was drawn by
Christian Fausel and published by L. R. Burleigh Litho. in 1899.
Plattsburgh is the county seat for Clinton County and is located near
the Adirondack Mountains where the Saranac River meets the western shore
of Lake Champlain. Samuel de Champlain explored this area in 1609 and it
became a fur trading community. Zephaniah Platt, a lawyer and
politician, founded Plattsburgh in 1785 on land granted to him by former
colonial governor, The Hon. George Clinton. Platt moved to Plattsburgh
ten years later and continued his law practice becoming a regent of the
State University and an originator of the Erie Canal. Plattsburgh was
known as "La Ville Sur le Lac" and had been the locale of the
Revolutionary War's "Battle of Valcour Island" and the War of 1812's
"Battle of Plattsburgh". This map shows Plattsburgh three years before
it reached its city status and one year after the New York State Normal
School building was completed.
The map from 1899 shows buildings,
clearly labeled streets, railroad routes and features the steamer
"Vermont" in the foreground.
