2013 Map of Amsterdam

About this map

Yellow Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Run, Cox Creek, and Goose Creek, carve through the complex topography of Jefferson, Carroll, and Harrison Counties. This 2013 survey of the Amsterdam area shows a landscape defined by its ridge-top settlements and deep-valley drainage. Genealogists find significant value in the high density of rural burial grounds, such as the Circle Green Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, Greek Orthodox Cemetery, and Old Buffalo Hill Cemetery. The pattern of development follows the high ground, with Simmons Ridge and Blue Ridge providing natural corridors for early roads like Germano Road. Smaller hamlets like Germano, Apex, and Middleburg are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of winding county roads that trace the contours of Red Dog Ridge and Pigeon Ridge.
