2019 Map of Newcomb

About this map

The settlement of Newcomb sits at a geographic crossroads in the heart of the Adirondack Park Preserve, surrounded by a complex system of interconnected waterways. The high peaks of Goodnow Mtn and Baldwin Mtn overlook a valley floor dominated by the Hudson River and its upper tributaries. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Goodnow River and Fishing Brook as they feed into significant water bodies like Harris Lake, Rich Lake, and Belden Lake. The map reveals a land management pattern defined by protected forest land, where narrow access ways such as Gooley Club Rd and Goodnow Flow Rd reach into the interior. To the south, the Essex Chain Lakes and the Blackwell Stillwater segment of the Hudson emphasize the region's character as a primitive wilderness and a vital watershed for New York State.
