Geography

Adams is located in the northern part of the province. It is bordered by Pagudpud in the north, by Santa Praxedes, Cagayan in the northeast, Calanasan, Apayao in the east, Dumalneg in the west and Vintar in the south.

Road access to the municipality is mainly from Barangay Pancian in Pagudpud, and can be reached only by motorcycle, not by tricycles or four-wheeled vehicles. Adams' villages are far from each other, with Sitio Bucarot as the farthest, located on the side of the mountain away from the población. It takes about three hours of hiking to get there.

Sitio Bucarot is still disputed territory between Adams and Calanasan, Apayao. Due to this, the place has government buildings from both municipalities.[5]

Barangay

This barangay is headed by elected officials: Barangay Captain, Barangay Council, whose members are called Barangay Councilors. All are elected every three years. Adams is composed of only one barangay.
