About this map

Little Ausable River meanders through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Peru and the rural crossroads of Harkness. The area's identity is defined by a dense concentration of family-run agricultural operations, including Applejacks Orchard, Forrence Orchards, and Maplegreand Farms. This pattern of land use reflects a deeply rooted orchard and farming tradition that continues to shape Clinton County.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites scattered across the township, such as Saint Augustine Cem, Quaker Cem, and Schuyler Falls Cem to the north. To the west and south, the terrain rises toward Mt Etna and Cold Spring Mtn, with a portion of the Adirondack Park Preserve appearing in the southeast corner. Numerous waterways like Arnold Brook and Furnace Brook crisscross the valley, feeding into the Salmon River drainage.
