About this map

Raquette River and its dramatic Stark Falls dominate the eastern edge of this northern wilderness during the early 1920s. The landscape reflects a mix of remote industrial activity and elite recreational retreats, characterized by numerous private clubs such as the Hollywood Club, Mussawepie Club, and Stillwater Club. Logging and local industry are evidenced by Gleasons Mill and the Stone Dam on the Middle Branch Grass River.

Small agricultural and social pockets persist at Sellecks Cors and Medbury, supported by rural institutions like Littlejohn School and Cold Brook School. Significant elevation changes are marked by the Catamount Mtn Fire Station and the prominent Hardwood Ridge. The region's character is defined by its dense network of water, including the South Branch and Little River, alongside localized camps like Sellecks Upper Camp.
