About this map

Wassaic State School dominates the valley floor south of Wassaic, serving as a significant institutional landmark along the Tenmile River. This mid-century landscape in Dutchess Co County and bordering Litchfield Co County reveals a community defined by its watercourses and hollows. The settlement of Amenia sits at a central junction, while smaller hamlets like Lithgow and South Amenia are connected by a network of winding roads including Deep Hollow Road and Butts Hollow Road.

Transport and industry are noted by the Conrail line tracking the river valley and a Powerhouse near the center of the sheet. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by the Millbrook School, Maplebrook Sch, and the Lithgow Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed valleys to the heights of East Mountain and Cobble Mtn, with the eastern edge preserved within Macedonia Brook State Park along the Connecticut border.
