About this map

Newbridge serves as a small focal point in this 2019 survey of the Saint Lawrence County backcountry, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Middle Branch Grass River and the South Branch Grass River. The area is characterized by significant topographic relief, with prominent peaks like Tooley Pond Mtn and Gooseberry Mtn rising above the river valleys. Navigation through this portion of the Adirondack Park Preserve is primarily aided by Tooley Pond Rd, which follows the river's path.

The river systems are punctuated by distinct navigational hazards and landmarks, including Rainbow Falls, Copper Rock Falls, and the turbulent waters of Brumagin Rapids. Extensive wetland complexes like Oclare Swamp and Big Swamp fill the lowlands between ridges such as Buckhorn Ridge and McCollum Hill. This map captures the modern state of these protected lands, documenting the relationship between the historical settlement at Newbridge and the surrounding wilderness of the northwestern Adirondacks.
