2014 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst serves as the central hub of this Buffalo County landscape, situated along the banks of the Wood River. The village is a key point in a rural grid defined by section roads such as Custer Rd and Odessa Rd, which cross the rolling terrain of central Nebraska. The Wood River cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, creating a natural corridor that breaks the regularity of the agricultural township lines. To the east and southeast, the Stanley Cem offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories in this farming community. State Highway Ne-40 provides the primary transit link through the region, connecting the small settlement to the wider county network while maintaining the quiet character of the plains.
