About this map

The East Branch Ausable River and West Branch Ausable River dominate this Adirondack landscape, carving through a terrain of high peaks and river valleys. The settlements of Upper Jay and Keene serve as the primary human anchors, connected by a network of winding roads like State Hwy 86 Scn and State Hwy 73 Scn. The presence of Mountain View Cemetery and Ingalls Cemetery provides significant points of interest for those researching local family histories in this corner of Essex County.

Waterfalls such as The Flume Fall, High Falls, and Clifford Falls mark the dramatic elevation changes along the river courses. The western portion of the map is defined by the Sentinel Range, including peaks like Sentinel Mountain and Stewart Mountain. To the south and east, family-named landmarks and distinct summits including Owls Head Mountain and Ebenezer Mountain illustrate a landscape where topography has long dictated the patterns of settlement and travel.
