1958 Map of Amherst

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Amherst serves as the focal point of this late 1950s prairie landscape, situated along the Great Northern railroad line at the junction of Weston and Detroit townships. The map documents a period when rural education and community life remained anchored by localized landmarks, including several one-room schoolhouses such as School No 3, School No 4, and School No 6. The geography is defined by a series of depressions and small water bodies, notable for the presence of multiple Flowing Wells which indicate the importance of artesian water sources for agriculture in this portion of Marshall County and Brown County. Local genealogy and burial history are anchored by the Amherst Cem and the Free Mission Cem, providing precise locations for researchers tracing the early families of Newport and the surrounding townships.
