2011 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst serves as the focal point of this Buffalo County landscape, where the local street grid including N Sycamore St meets the winding path of the Wood River. The settlement pattern is characterized by a precise rectilinear road network, with major corridors like Amherst Rd and Odessa Rd dividing the agricultural terrain. This 2011 survey documents the essential civic and community landmarks of the era, such as the Amherst Post Office and the Stanley Cemetery located further east along the riverbank. The interaction between the natural hydrology of the Wood River and the rigid survey lines of routes like Pole Line Rd and Daykin Rd illustrates the enduring layout of rural Nebraska's farming infrastructure and small-town center.
