About this map

Irish Settlement and the Gleason Mill anchor this mid-century look at the remote Adirondack foothills, where the Raquette River and multiple branches of the Grass River dictate the local geography. Surveyed in the early 1920s, the landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational pockets, featuring early hunting and social organizations like the Massawepie Club, Hollywood Club, and Stillwater Club. Transportation is restricted to primitive routes like the Lumber Road and Tooley Pond Road, connecting isolated family and logging outposts such as Sellecks Cors and Medbury. Distinctive topographical markers like the fire station on Tooley Pond Mtn and the numerous rapids, including Deerlick Rapids and Rainbow Falls, highlight a wilderness being utilized for timber and early 20th-century Adirondack tourism.
