About this map

The West Br Delaware River and Oquaga Cr converge near the village of Deposit, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow valleys and upland ridges. This 2013 survey reveals the persistent settlement patterns of eastern Broome County, where historic hamlets like Stilesville, Hambletville, and McClure are linked by the winding path of Old Route 17. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and hollows, including Loomis Hill, Tarbell Hill, and Big Hollow.

Genealogical interest is well-served by a high density of rural burial grounds, ranging from Oakwood Cem near the river to the upland Loomis Hill Cem. Water resources are a prominent feature, with the Deposit Reservoir and several named ponds like Blueberry Lake and Palmers Pond dotting the hillsides. South of the main village, Oquaga Lake and Scotts Golf Course indicate the area's transition into a recreational landscape while preserving its traditional rural character.
