1962 Map of Amherst NE

About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts diagonally across this high plains landscape at the border of Colorado and Nebraska. This 1962 survey documents a rural environment defined by large township divisions, including the expansive Grace and Jamestown districts. The terrain is marked by subtle drainage patterns and isolated agricultural improvements, such as various wells scattered across the range. Near the northern boundary, the Venango Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early families in this tri-county intersection. The map illustrates the administrative meeting point of Phillips Co and Sedgwick Co in Colorado with Perkins Co and Chase Co in Nebraska, capturing the surveyed grid of the American West.
