About this map

The Little Ausable River winds through the heart of Clinton County, defining the agricultural and wooded corridor between the Adirondack foothills and Lake Champlain. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape where historic rural settlements like Peru and Harkness serve as anchors for a network of family-named roads and remote mountain reaches. The western edge is dominated by the transition into Adirondack Park, including the protected lands of Macomb Reservation State Park near Mount Etna.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, from the Schuyler Falls Cem in the north to the Quaker Cem and Harkness Cem further south. The map documents the persistent layout of small hamlets such as Laphams Mills and the northern outskirts of Keeseville, tracing the relationship between older river-side industry and the contemporary transportation routes that parallel the Salmon River and Arnold Brook.
