About this map

North Lawrence sits as the primary settlement on this landscape, defined by its intersection of rural routes and proximity to the winding waters of the Deer River. The mid-1960s terrain is heavily wooded, dominated by the St Lawrence State Forest and the Walter F Pratt Memorial Forest. This northern New York region is structured by local family-named landmarks and crossroads such as Wagstaff Corner, while the surrounding countryside is drained by numerous watercourses including Trout Brook, Redwater Brook, and Allen Brook.

Evidence of local history and genealogy is scattered throughout the township of Stockholm and its neighbors, found in small burial grounds like Flint-Chaffee Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Hill Crest Cem. Transportation is marked by a network of rural roads such as Mc Auslen Road and Shinnock Road, alongside sections of abandoned infrastructure, reflecting the slow evolution of this forest-and-field economy during the mid-twentieth century.
