Amboy and the surrounding Lee County townships are defined by a grid of agricultural roads and the winding course of the Green River. This 2018 survey documents a landscape where historic burial grounds like Prairie Repose Cem and Saint Patrick's Cem sit at the edges of established settlements like Lee Center and Binghampton. The map reveals a distinct ecological concentration south of Us Rte 52, where a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies—including Orchid Wetland, Turtlehead Pond, and Lily Pad Pond—converge near the Oak Glen Savanna. Further south, the large development around Woodhaven Lake creates a unique settlement pattern of private roads and small basins like Lake Sunset and Mallard Pond, contrasting with the more traditional township layouts found near Maytown.
