1978 Map of Au Sable Forks

About this map

Au Sable Forks sits at the confluence of the West Branch and East Branch of the Ausable River, serving as a central hub within the northern reaches of the Adirondack Park. In the late 1970s, the area's industrial history is evidenced by several Quarries, a Quarry, and numerous Sandpits dotting the landscape near Black Brook and Rogers. Transportation is defined by the Delaware and Hudson River rail line following the river valley through Clintonville. Local landmarks such as Holy Name Ch and Fairview Cem provide points of interest for genealogists, while the surrounding peaks, including Ragged Mountain and Palmer Hill, frame the valley's settlement patterns. Farther north, Fern Lake and Stevens Landing mark the transition toward the more wooded heights of Fern Lake Mtn.
