2010 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst anchors the southeastern corner of this West Texas landscape, appearing as a concentrated grid of streets at the junction of Fm 37 and several county routes. The surrounding terrain is defined by a rigorous network of section-line roads, such as Co Rd 125 and Co Rd 135, which facilitate the region's agricultural economy. This geometry is only interrupted by the meandering course of Blackwater Draw, which snakes through the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the persistence of rural infrastructure in Lamb County, where the layout of the land remains deeply tied to the township-and-range surveying system. Local transit is dominated by farm-to-market routes like Fm 1843 and a web of numbered county roads, illustrating the connectivity between isolated farmsteads and the central community of Amherst.
