About this map

Stark and the historic Irish Settlement anchor this Adirondack-fringe landscape, where the hydro-power infrastructure of the Raquette River dominates the eastern topography. The map illustrates a series of major impoundments, including Rainbow Falls Reservoir, Blake Falls Reservoir, and Stark Falls Reservoir, which transformed the river's course for utility. These reservoirs are connected by a network of local roads such as Cemetery Rd and Racquette River Rd.

Away from the developed river corridor, the terrain transitions into a more secluded wilderness marked by the N Br Grass River and prominent high points like Baldface Mountain and Brunner Hill. Unique ecological features like the sandy expanse of The Plains contrast with the numerous isolated water bodies such as Barney Pond and Ormsbee Pond, providing a detailed view of the Saint Lawrence County backcountry as it appeared in 2013.
