About this map

Amenia and Wassaic serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Dutchess County, where the valley floor is defined by the convergence of Wassaic Cr and Webatuck Cr to form the Tenmile River. The settlement pattern reflects a long-standing agricultural and early industrial heritage, with hamlets like South Amenia, Lithgow, and Leedsville dotting the landscape. In Amenia, a dense street grid including Church St and Railroad Ave centers around the local post office and the Amenia Island Cem.

To the south, the topography rises toward Cobble Mountain and the deep cleft of Turkey Hollow. Local history is preserved in named sites like the S Amenia Cem and the sprawling Evergreen Farm. The presence of Old Ore Bed Rd hints at the region's historical mining activity, while the rural character is maintained through established homesteads like Oak Leaf Hill Farm and the village of Amenia Union on the eastern border.
