1926 Map of Deposit

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through the southern tier of New York, anchoring a landscape defined by small valley hamlets and high ridge schools. In the 1920s, the village of Deposit served as a significant hub for the Erie R R, while the New York Ontario & Western R R traced the eastern hills through Trout Creek. This era reveals a densely populated rural interior, illustrated by the remarkable frequency of one-room schoolhouses like the colorfully named Slow and Easy School, Hungry Hollow School, and Beebe Hill School. Higher elevations such as Michigan Hill and Speedwell Mtn overlook a series of small water bodies including Oquaga Lake and Silver Lake. The map documents numerous settlements and crossings along the river, including Cannonsville and Rock Royal, providing a precise record of the valley's geography and infrastructure before mid-century hydraulic changes.
