1997 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Newcomb serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century survey within the vast Adirondack Park. The settlement pattern is largely tied to the water, with the SUNY Newcomb Campus situated near Rich Lake and Harris Lake. This area of the Adirondacks is defined by its complex hydrology and dramatic relief, where the Hudson River flows south, joined by numerous tributaries like Vanderwhacker Brook and the Boreas River. The landscape is dominated by high peaks, most notably Vanderwhacker Mountain and Goodnow Mountain. Cultural landmarks like the Tahawus Club and Winebrook Hills suggest a mix of long-standing recreational estates and educational land use. The presence of a Cem near the town center and the controlled waters of Goodnow Flow reflect a community shaped by both its timber-and-tourism history and modern conservation efforts.
