2016 Map of Belden

About this map

Harpursville and Belden anchor this landscape where the Susquehanna River cuts through the southeastern corner of Broome County. The area is defined by a series of small, scattered settlements including North Colesville, West Colesville, and the aptly named Tunnel, which reflects the region's historical engineering. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, including New Ohio Cem, Pratts Cem, and Coles Hill Cem, which are tucked away near local waterways like Belden Brook and Ouaquaga Cr. The terrain is crisscrossed by a dense network of country roads like Altitude Hill Rd and Beartown Rd, marking the agricultural and residential patterns of the town of Fenton and its neighbors. To the north, the Mill Pond and Osborne Cr showcase the intricate drainage system feeding into the larger river valley.
