1957 Map of Belden

About this map

North Colesville and the surrounding township of Colesville are defined by a network of rural roads and the heavy influence of the Delaware and Hudson railroad in the late 1950s. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Beartown Hill down toward the Susquehanna River valley in the southeast. This survey highlights the region's mid-century transportation and aviation infrastructure, from the railroad Tunnel to the Harmony Crest Airfield. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of several burial grounds, such as New Ohio Cem, Pratts Cem, and Coles Hill Cem. The map also captures specific recreational and industrial sites like the Belden Hill Golf Course and a local Quarry, reflecting the diverse land use in eastern Broome County during this era.
