1960 Map of Amsterdam
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Amsterdam stands as a primary focal point at the junction of Yellow Creek and Cox Creek, where the local landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and narrow valleys. The region shows an intensive history of resource extraction, with numerous Strip Mines and a Strip Mine scarring the hillsides, particularly around Apex and Germano. The Penn Central railroad winds through the terrain, serving the industrial needs of the day and connecting small settlements like Swanson and Wolf Run to the broader regional economy. Genealogical interest is high here, with several family-named burial sites such as Mizer Cem, Miller Cem, and Davidson Cem scattered among the uplands. The presence of St Josephs Sch and churches near the larger villages indicates a community structure established amidst the coal and agricultural lands of the Old Seven Ranges.
