To the south of the Drigeon valley, an approximately 100 m high step leads to the limestone plateau of Mont Roland . The highest point of Cuse-et-Adrisans is reached here at 425 m.
The double community consists of the districts of Cuse ( 280 m ) and Adrisans ( 275 m ), both located in the Drigeon valley basin.

The municipality of Cuse-et-Adrisans was settled very early. The earliest evidence of the presence of humans is formed by several tumuli from the Iron Age in the Bois d'Adrisans. Traces have also been found from the Gallo-Roman and Merovingian times.
The parish of Cuse was first mentioned in 1118. In the Middle Ages, Cuse and Adrisans formed their own small rule, which was under the influence of the Rougemont rule. Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Since the time of the French Revolution , Cuse and Adrisans have been combined in one municipality. Today, Cuse-et-Adrisans is a member of the Deux Vallées Vertes municipal association .
