2019 Map of Au Sable Forks

About this map

Au Sable Forks serves as the central hub of this northern Adirondack landscape, situated at the convergence of the West Branch Ausable River and the East Branch Ausable River. This 2019 survey documents the intricate network of valley settlements, including Rome, North Jay, and the hamlet of Black Brook, which sits adjacent to Black Brook Pond. The map reveals a transition from the industrial and residential clusters along the riverbanks to the high peaks of the Adirondack Park Preserve, featuring landmarks like Palmer Hill and Arnold Hill. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant sites, including Fairview Cem, Holy Name Cem, and North Jay Cem. The presence of the Grove Road Bridge and Stickney Bridge underscores the region's reliance on river crossings for connectivity between the small communities of Clinton Co and Essex Co during the early 21st century.
