About this map

The ST Regis River flows northward through the heart of this landscape, defining the character of several riverside communities in St. Lawrence County. Brasher Falls and Winthrop appear as neighboring centers of activity, linked by a dense network of local roads including Street and Dullea Road. The presence of the Rutland Branch railroad line highlights the importance of rail transport for these rural hamlets, providing a critical link to the broader region.

A notable military presence is recorded at the U S Military Police Encampment located northeast of the falls. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from numerous rural schoolhouses such as School No 8 to family-named burial grounds like Richardson Cem and Jenkins Cem. The map also captures smaller nodes of settlement like Stockholm Center and the village of Skinnerville along the West Branch of the river.
