New Bremen’s center stands about 770 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 720 ft to 960 ft, a difference of 240 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Gomer Hill, about 2,140 ft, 13 miles south.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Glacial and Alluvial Deposits (unconsolidated), from the Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 15×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Unconsolidated. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Gneiss. Age: Mesoproterozoic, 1 to 1.6 billion years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Siltstone, shale. Age: Late Ordovician, 445 to 459 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Middle Ordovician, 459 to 471 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Age: Mesoproterozoic, 1 to 1.6 billion years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Black-shale. Age: Middle Ordovician, 459 to 471 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 1 smaller unit along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in New Bremen reaches Lake Ontario by way of Black Creek, the Beaver and the Black River: about 55 river miles. From the lake it goes down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of New Bremen; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
New Bremen has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 78° in July; winter nights fall to about 8° in January. A normal year brings about 127 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 42 inches of water.
On November 14 New Bremen normally reaches 45° and falls to 28°. The record high is 65°, in 1930; the record low 1°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.06 in, fell in 1925.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1891 at Lowville, 4 miles southwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
