Title: Plan of Fort Frederick at Crown Point. Lake Champlain, NY. GENTS MAG 1755 map

Description: Plan of Fort Frederick at Crown Point'. Fort Saint-Frédéric was a French fort built on Lake Champlain to secure the region against British colonization and control the lake. It was located in what is today New York State across the lake from Vermont at the town of Crown Point, New York. The fort, whose construction began in 1734, was never attacked, and was destroyed in 1759 before the advance of a large British army under General Jeffery Amherst. The fort gave the French control of the frontier between New France and the British colonies to the south. As the only permanent stronghold in the area until the building of Fort Carillon at Ticonderoga starting in 1755, many French raids originated there and it was a target of British operations in the French and Indian War. by Unattributed.
