2010 Map of Amboy

About this map

The Blue Earth River carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape in southern Blue Earth County, anchoring the settlements of Vernon Center and Amboy. The river's meanders create a complex riparian corridor that contrasts with the strict grid of rural township roads like TWP HWY 85 and County Hwy 10. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Saint Matthews Cemetery, the Vernon Center Cemetery, and the Old Willow Creek Cemetery situated near the confluence of Willow Creek and the river. Water management is a defining feature of the area's development, evidenced by the long reach of Judicial Ditch Number Twentyfour, which drains the fields west of the main river valley. Small water bodies like Ida Lake and Reinke Slough provide distinct landmarks within this productive farming region.
