2019 Map of Belden

About this map

Harpursville and the surrounding township of Colesville are defined by a complex network of creeks and small upland settlements in this modern survey. The geography is shaped by the winding Susquehanna River in the southeast corner and the many tributaries that feed it, including Still Creek, Belden Brook, and Ouaquaga Cr. The map documents a landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys, where rural life is anchored by locations like New Ohio and Tunnel. Local family history is preserved at sites such as New Ohio Cem, Pratt Cem, and Coles Hill Cem. The infrastructure follows the natural topography, with roads like Death Valley Rd and Farm to Market Rd connecting disparate clusters of homes. This detailed record illustrates the enduring rural character of Broome County, showing how historical hamlets like North Colesville and Belden persist within the modern roadway system.
