About this map

Amenia and its surrounding hamlets sit at a geographic crossroads where the Tenmile River and Webatuck Creek carve paths through the Taconic landscape. This modern survey illustrates a corridor of historic settlements stretching from Lithgow in the west to the border community of Amenia Union on the Connecticut line. The abundance of preserved cemeteries, such as the Amenia Burying Ground - Red Meeting House Cem and the Northrup Burial Ground, points to the deep ancestral roots of the Harlem Valley.

Transport and water management are central themes, with the Tenmile River flowing south through Wassaic while Bog Hollow Brook and Stone Church Brook drain the higher elevations of East Mtn and Fox Hill. The map meticulously tracks local infrastructure, from the rural reaches of Butts Hollow Rd to the concentrated residential grid in the village of Amenia, documenting the contemporary state of these long-established New York farm and mill communities.
