1962 Map of Amherst NE

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Colorado Nebraska state line bisects this high plains landscape during the early 1960s, marking a complex intersection of county boundaries including Phillips Co, Sedgwick Co, Perkins Co, and Chase Co. The map records a sparse, agricultural environment characterized by the large townships of Grace and Jamestown. A critical infrastructure link for the region is the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which cuts diagonally across the northern corner of the sheet. For local historians and genealogists, the Venango Cem serves as a primary landmark in the northeastern portion of the map, situated near the transition from Colorado into Nebraska. The presence of numerous wells indicates the vital importance of groundwater for the remote homesteads and farms scattered across this prairie terrain.
