A railway junction was located at the junction of the Deep Stream and the Taieri, also called Deep Stream, which was on the Otago Central Railway.[2][3] The line is still used by Dunedin Railways, but the station was closed in 1954 and no longer exists.
Trout fishing with grasshoppers was popular on the stream.[4]
The stream shares its name with several other much shorter streams in the Canterbury and Southland Regions of New Zealand.
