About this map

The St Regis River and the West Branch St Regis River converge in the heart of this North Country landscape, anchoring the adjacent communities of Brasher Falls and Winthrop. This mid-1960s survey reveals a region defined by its watercourses and expansive tracts of the St Lawrence State Forest, which dominate the northern and eastern quadrants. The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and a dense network of country roads such as Lacomb Road and Jenkins Corners Road.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous rural burial grounds, including Kyle Cem, Richardson Cem, and St Patrick Cem. Educational and civic life centers on the St Lawrence Central Sch, while the industrial footprint is visible through scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of an abandoned rail line cutting through the terrain. From the heights of Catamount Ridge to the small hamlet of Skinnerville, the map documents a transition from forested wilderness to active farming and river-town life.
