2023 Map of Keene Valley

About this map

Keene Valley and the hamlet of Saint Huberts occupy the central drainage of the East Branch Ausable River, a landscape defined by the sheer verticality of the surrounding High Peaks. This modern topographic record reveals a complex network of established pathways, including the Pitchoff Mountain Trl and Baxter Mountain Trl, which connect the valley floor to summits like Cascade Mountain and Big Slide Mountain. Local genealogy is anchored by several historic burial grounds, such as Norton Cem and Estes Cem, located near the river and Marcy Field. The map meticulously details the intersection of early settlement roads and the protected wilderness of the Adirondack Park Preserve, tracing water features from Lower Cascade Lake in the north to the waterfalls of Beaver Meadows Falls and Artist Falls in the south.
