It is surrounded with mountain ranges, and more than 50% of its territory is forest cover that has been the sources of living for some people living there. The barangays of New Bataan that are mostly covered with forest are Andap, Tandawan, Camanlangan, Manurigao. Manurigao is the most remote among the barangay because of the absence of a better road and transportation.
