1923 Map of Stark

About this map

Stark Falls and the surrounding timber and sporting lands of St. Lawrence County are captured here in the early 1920s. This landscape is defined by the three branches of the Grass River—the South Branch, Middle Branch, and the Conkey Branch—which supported early industry like Gleasons Mill. The map reveals a network of remote encampments and private sporting clubs, including the Stillwater Club, Hollywood Club, and Massawepie Club, reflecting the era's transition toward recreational forest use. Local education and small-scale settlement are preserved through landmarks such as Littlejohn School, Sellecks Cors, and Medbury. Higher elevations like Catamount Mtn and Tooley Pond Mtn are noted with their respective fire stations, signaling the importance of forest protection in this river-veined interior.
