2019 Map of Newton Falls

About this map

Newton Falls and Wanakena serve as the primary human outposts in this 2019 survey of the Saint Lawrence County wilderness. The area is defined by the winding course of the Oswegatchie River and the expansive Adirondack Park Preserve, where water dominates the landscape through features like Chaumont Pond, Dead Creek Flow, and the sprawling Chaumont Swamp. This map captures the region's managed natural character, showing how local infrastructure like River Rd and Co Rd 60 navigates around prominent peaks including Spruce Mtn and Rocky Mtn. For those interested in the hydrology of the North Country, the map traces the intricate connections between Little Moosehead Pond and the various outlets and brooks that feed the river system. The presence of the Ranger School Rd near Wanakena points to the long-standing educational and conservation history inherent to this section of the Adirondacks.
