1954 Map of Amity

About this map

Ten Mile Creek and its various tributaries, including Little Ten Mile Creek and Bane Creek, carve a rolling landscape across Washington and Greene Counties. This mid-century survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning from traditional milling at sites like Harts Mill and Chambers Mill toward energy extraction, evidenced by the Lone Pine Mine, Moore Shaft, and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the terrain. The settlement of Amity serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities and railroad stops like Baker Sta and Dunns Sta along the Pennsylvania Railroad. Cultural life is anchored by numerous local institutions, from the Lone Pine School to rural congregations at Bethlehem Church and Pleasant Hill Church. The northern edge is bounded by the historic National Road, emphasizing the area's long-standing importance as a transportation corridor.
