About this map

Degrasse serves as the central settlement in this portion of St. Lawrence County, situated where the South Branch Grass River winds through the northern reaches of the Adirondack Park. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous cascades such as Sinclair Falls, Basford Falls, and the Stewart Rapids. These water features, alongside the Middle Branch Grass River, historically dictated the movement and settlement patterns of the region.

Evidence of local heritage is found at Pleasant View Cem near the junction of Co Rd 115 and Tooley Pond Rd. The map also details the wetlands of the southern interior, including Berry Swamp and Orebed Swamp, while highlighting topographical landmarks like Huftle Hill and Randall Hill. This modern survey records the enduring rural character of the North Country, where secondary routes like Silver Hill Rd provide access to the deep woods.
