2016 Map of Amboy

About this map

Amboy and North Grove anchor the landscape of southern Miami County in this detailed topographical study. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Herchberger, Gerber, and Barnhart cemeteries, providing a critical resource for genealogical research. To the east, the settlement of Converse sits near the border of Grant and Howard counties, supported by the Converse Airport. The terrain is shaped by an intricate network of drainage and natural watercourses like Pipe Creek, Deer Creek, and Honey Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology required for the region's agricultural productivity. Further south, the crossroads of Plevna marks the transition into Howard County, where ditch systems like the Matthew Howell Ditch and Fisher Ditch have historically managed the fertile plains.
