About this map

North Branch Grass River and the Middle Branch Grass River dominate this portion of St. Lawrence County, charting a path through heavily forested lands within the Adirondack State Park. The landscape is defined by its water features, from the widening of The Stillwater to the reservoir at Higley Flow. Sparse settlements like Sellecks Corners and Sellecks Lower Camp suggest a region primarily dedicated to timbering and seasonal recreation during the early 1970s.

Industrial history is visible in the remnants of the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the State Forest Preserve, following the contours near Gulf Brook. Evidence of early local enterprise remains at Gleasons Mill, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and Sandpit near the northern boundary indicates ongoing resource extraction. Significant heights such as Albert Marsh Hill and Painter Mtn provide the backdrop for a network of springs and ponds, including Cranberry Pond and Little Rock Pond.
