2023 Map of Amaranth

About this map

Negro Mountain and Town Hill form a steep, parallel ridge system through this portion of the Pennsylvania highlands, shaping the settlement patterns of rural Fulton and Bedford counties. Small agricultural communities such as Robinsonville, Silver Mills, and Buck Valley are tucked into the narrow valleys, connected by winding routes like Robinsonville Rd and Amaranth Rd. The landscape is notably defined by its many rural congregations and burial grounds, including the Amaranth Church of the Brethren and the Buck Valley Zion Lutheran Church. These institutions serve as anchors for the scattered hamlets along the creeks. The drainage network is complex, with the West Branch Sideling Hill Creek and East Branch Sideling Hill Creek carving through the ridges, while the Greater Breezewood Regional Airport occupies a rare level stretch of high ground in the north.
