1962 Map of Amherst

About this map

The small plains settlement of Amherst is the primary focus of this high-plains landscape, situated along the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad line. The map highlights the town's local civic infrastructure during the early 1960s, featuring the High Sch, a Substation, and a Radio Tower that served the community. Outside the town limits, the terrain is characterized by a sparse network of section lines and isolated Well sites, indicating the critical role of water management in this semi-arid region of the Texas Panhandle.
