town of Thurston
. It headed eastward, following Michigan Creek along the base of a valley surrounding the waterway. Due to the terrain of the area, NY 333 intersected only a handful of roads, one of which was Cranberry Lake Road (CR 2), a north–south highway that met NY 333 midway between the hamlets of Risingville and Thurston. The route continued onward, turning northeastward toward Thurston Pond and the small hamlet of Thurston at the eastern edge of the small lake. Here, NY 333 curved back to the east as it met Savona–Thurston Road (CR 12) in the western half of the community.
East of Thurston hamlet, NY 333 continued to run along the base of the Michigan Creek valley into the town of Campbell
, where the valley met a larger valley surrounding the Cohocton River
. The route proceeded eastward across the width of the latter valley, crossing over the river on its way into the riverside hamlet of Campbell, the largest community along NY 333. It proceeded eastward through the hamlet along Main Street to an interchange with the Southern Tier Expressway (then-NY 15
and NY 17
