The southeast side of Donaldson Mt. drains into Seward Brook, thence into the Cold River, a tributary of the Raquette River. The southwest end of Donaldson Mt. drains into Boulder Brook, thence into the Cold River. The northwest side of Donaldson drains into Calkins Brook, thence into the Raquette River.
