2023 Map of Deposit

About this map

Deposit sits at a geographic crossroads where the West Branch Delaware River bends south, marking the border between Broome and Delaware counties. The town serves as a hub for the surrounding valley, with historical settlement patterns radiating out toward McClure and Hambletville. The landscape is defined by significant water bodies, including Oquaga Lake, Laurel Lake, and the high-elevation Deposit Reservoir. Numerous burial grounds are preserved across the terrain, from Pine Grove Cem in town to rural locations like Loomis Hill Cem and Hale Eddy Cem. The topography is etched with deep hollows such as Big Hollow and McCabe Hollow, while Oquaga Creek cuts through the western hills, following the path of ancient trade and travel routes through this corner of New York.
