About this map

The Ausable River flows into the northwestern corner of this territory, where the Adirondacks meet the western shore of Lake Champlain. This coastal landscape is defined by its deep bays and rocky points, from the sheltering arc of Corlaer Bay down to the residential finger of Willsboro Point. The terrain rises sharply from the water toward interior peaks like Prospect Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, creating a dramatic transition between the lakeside communities and the high wooded ridges.

Water is the central theme here, with recreation and geography intertwined at Indian Bay Marina and along the shores of Augur Lake. The interior is dotted with secluded water bodies such as Highlands Forge Lake and Long Pond, while the historic Port Douglass Cem near the hamlet of Port Douglass offers a connection to the area's early settlement. This survey documents the complex shoreline and the network of local roads, such as Mace Chasm Rd, that navigate the elevation changes between the mountains and the lake.
