About this map

Au Sable Forks serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of the West Branch and East Branch of the Ausable River. The landscape reflects an active industrial and community life within the Adirondack State Park, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad line connects the valley's small settlements. Evidence of local industry is scattered throughout the hills, from the Ore Mines and Strip Mine near Arnold Hill to the historical Soper Kiln and Seven Kiln further south.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous scattered cemeteries like Riverside Cem and Fairview Cem, alongside community landmarks such as Big Church and Little Church near the Bouquet River. The terrain is characterized by named heights including Ragged Mtn and Haystack Mtn, while recreational spaces are preserved at Pokamoonshine Mountain State Park. Water bodies like Fern Lake and Augur Lake dot the northern reaches, supporting small landings and settlements like Stevens Landing and Thomasville.
