2017 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst serves as the primary settlement on this Northeast South Dakota prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of Center St and Front St. This 2017 survey reveals a quiet agricultural region defined by a precise grid of rural routes, including Co Hwy 12 and Co Hwy 11, which partition the landscape into sections for the Public Land Survey System. The map's genealogical value is concentrated in its burial grounds, showing the Amherst Cem just north of town, and the Newport Colony Cem located near the center of the quadrangle. Further south along 414th Ave, the Free Mission Cem stands as a point of interest for local historians. The boundary between Brown Co and Marshall Co runs vertically through the western portion of the sheet, providing a clear jurisdictional marker for land researchers and property historians.
