1969 Map of West Pierrepont

About this map

North Branch Grass River and the Middle Branch Grass River dominate this portion of St. Lawrence County, charting a course through a landscape of state-managed timberlands and small rural junctions. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed settlement concentrated at named crossroads, including West Pierrepont, Deans Corners, and Moores Corners. These hamlets served as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads and logging operations during the late 1960s. Significant elevation changes are marked by notable cascades such as Lampsons Falls and Harper Falls along the river's path. Large tracts of protected land, including the Donnerville State Forest and portions of the Adirondack State Park, reflect the region's transition toward conservation and recreation. Notable local landmarks such as Boyd Pond and the Landing Strip near Burns Flat provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family holdings in the townships of Russell, Pierrepont, and Clare.
