2010 Map of Amenia

About this map

Amenia and Wassaic serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Dutchess County, situated where the valley floor meets the rising terrain of Turkey Hollow and Cobble Mountain. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Webatuck Creek and the Tenmile River, which anchor a series of small, dispersed settlements like South Amenia and Amenia Union on the Connecticut border. Local history is preserved in the Amenia Island Cemetery and South Amenia Cemetery, while the presence of named agricultural sites such as Evergreen Farm reflects the area's enduring rural character. The road network, including the historic Shunpike Rd and Leedsville Rd, connects these older hamlets across a topography marked by significant features like Deep Hollow and Mutton Hollow. This survey captures the transition from established village centers to the quiet, creek-fed hollows that have shaped the region's development for generations.
