About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this Broome County landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the village of Deposit. This 2010 survey shows a region defined by its water resources and narrow valleys, from the managed flow at the Cannonsville Dam to the recreational clusters surrounding Oquaga Lake, Laurel Lake, and Blueberry Lake in the southwest. The distribution of small hamlets like Stilesville and Hale Eddy reflects the historical importance of the river and rail path along the valley floor.

Local history is preserved in a high density of rural burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cemetery, Oakwood Cemetery, and the Loomis Hill Cemetery on the northern heights. These landmarks, along with family-named terrain features such as Tarbell Hill and Beebe Hill, provide a detailed record of land ownership and settlement patterns that have persisted even as modern infrastructure like Co RD 28 reshaped travel through McClure and the Oquaga Creek valley.
