Historic Map - Plattsburgh, NY - 1899
Description
1899 Plattsburgh, N.Y. C. Fausel, artist. L. R. Burleigh, lith.
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.
