About this map

The Little Ausable River winds through this Clinton County landscape, anchoring the village of Peru and the smaller settlements of Harkness and Laphams Mills. The 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and rural character of the region, where family-named burial grounds like Calkins Cem, McCormick Cem, and Quaker Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineage.

Western portions of the area transition into the wooded uplands of Mt Etna and Cold Spring Mtn, reaching into the edge of the Adirondack Park Preserve. Numerous small waterways, including Arnold Brook and Spaulding Brook, cut through the terrain, historically supporting the mills that once defined the economy. The road network remains largely rural, with local connectors like Peasleeville Rd and Rod and Gun Club Rd linking scattered homesteads to the central community hubs.
