1964 Map of Brasher Falls

About this map

The St Regis River flows northward through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, passing through the primary settlements of Brasher Falls and Winthrop. This period in St. Lawrence County shows a community organized around the river valley and a network of named country roads, such as Jenkins Corners Road and Munson Road. Extensive tracts of the St Lawrence State Forest dominate the northern and eastern reaches, while the interior is punctuated by numerous family-named burial grounds including Richardson Cem, Kyle Cem, and Holmes Hill Cem. Local education is centered at the St Lawrence Central Sch, while former industrial footprints are noted by an Abandoned railroad line. The map captures a detailed snapshot of rural life between Skinnerville and Stockholm Center, where small-scale gravel extraction and forestry operated alongside established river-side villages.
