About this map

Amity and West Amity sit at the heart of this landscape, where the ridges of Washington County meet the Greene Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of streams such as Tenmile Creek and Montgomery Run, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. Evidence of early industry and community life is scattered throughout the hills, from Chambers Mill on the western edge to the rail-related naming of Baker Station.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem and Mount Hermon Baptist Cem, reflecting the early denominational diversity of the region. The map also traces the transition into the industrial south near Marianna, where the land begins to shift toward the coal-rich valleys. Small crossroads and rail stops like Hackney, Conger, and Lone Pine are preserved here, showing the persistence of these rural communities alongside modern infrastructure.
