Hagadone Brook is a small stream, also known as a "brook," located in New York State, United States. It is a natural waterway that flows into another stream called the West Kill, near the town of Spruceton, New York.

What is Hagadone Brook?

Hagadone Brook is an important part of the local water system. It collects water from the land and carries it downstream. This brook helps to drain, or remove, water from a specific area.

Where Does it Start and End?

The journey of Hagadone Brook begins on the northern side of a mountain called North Dome. This is where the brook's water first gathers.

From its source, the brook flows until it meets the West Kill river. This meeting point is located just west of the small community of Spruceton, New York.

The Area it Drains

The brook "drains" water from a specific area, which is called its drainage basin or watershed. This means it collects all the rain and melted snow from that land.

Hagadone Brook's drainage basin is quite small, covering about 0.64 square miles (1.66 square kilometers). This makes it a relatively small but important stream in its local environment.
