2010 Map of Amboy

About this map

Amboy and the surrounding Miami County agricultural landscape are defined by a sophisticated network of drainage ditches that managed the regional water table for Indiana's mid-century farming economy. This survey documents a complex system of waterways, including Regan Ditch, Overman Ditch, and Miller Ditch, which redirect flow toward Pipe Creek and Honey Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the small-town layouts for Converse and North Grove, alongside rural crossroads like Plevna. For local historians, the concentration of family-named and community burial sites is particularly notable, ranging from the central Friends Cemetery and Park Lawn Cemetery to more remote sites like Herchberger Cemetery and Barnhart Cemetery. Near the eastern edge, Fox Lake and the Converse Airport represent the local shift toward recreation and aviation infrastructure.
