2016 Map of Amsterdam

About this map

Amsterdam sits at the confluence of several hills in a landscape defined by its deep ridges and winding creek beds. This 2016 survey shows the tri-county border area where Carroll, Jefferson, and Harrison counties meet, a region characterized by scattered rural settlements and a high density of local cemeteries that speak to the area's ancestral roots. Features like the Circle Green Methodist Episcopal Cem and Simmons Ridge Cem are positioned along high points such as Simmons Ridge and Pigeon Ridge. Waterways including Yellow Creek and Elk Fork carve through the terrain, dictating the path of local routes like Quaker Rd and Annapolis Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Ohio landscape where small communities like Germano and Wolf Run remain anchored to the winding valley roads and traditional land divisions.
