2012 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst is the primary focus of this northern Marshall County survey, showing a structured grid of streets including Front St, Center St, and 2nd St. The town sits within a landscape defined by an extensive grid of section-line roads, such as 414th Ave and 114th St, reflecting the systematic land division of the Great Plains. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Amherst Cem located just north of the main settlement and the Free Mission Cem situated further south along the same meridian. The agricultural character of the region is evident through the presence of the Docter Feedlot, illustrating the area's continued reliance on livestock and large-scale farming operations in the early 21st century.
