Montreal and Lake Champlain, including the rivers Richelieu and St. Lawrence, are the focus of this detailed little chart. Montreal is here called Saint Maria. Lake Champlain was the major transportation route between the Saint Lawrence and Hudson valley during the colonial period. The French forts Chambly, l'Assomption, Richelieu and St. Frederic (Crown Point) attest to the importance of the region.
