About this map

Ausable River waters converge at Au Sable Forks, where the West and East branches meet within the northeastern boundary of Adirondack Park. In the late 1970s, this landscape shows a legacy of industry and transition, with the Delaware and Hudson railroad line skirting the riverbanks through Rogers and Clintonville. The area's manufacturing and mineral history is evidenced by several Quarries and the presence of established hamlets like Black Brook and Rome.

Family history is rooted in the landscape at Fairview Cem and Holy Name Cem, while the northern reaches include the waters of Fern Lake and the settlement of Stevens Landing. The terrain is marked by numerous named peaks, including Arnold Hill and Stewart Mtn, which define the narrow valleys of Palmer Brook and Mud Brook. Institutional hubs like the Au Sable Valley High Sch serve the scattered communities of Green Street and North Jay in this corner of Clinton and Essex Counties.
