1962 Map of Amherst NE

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad cuts diagonally across this high plains landscape at the intersection of northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska. Surveyed in the late 1950s and field-checked in 1962, the map illustrates the precise division of agricultural lands near the tri-state corner. The terrain is marked by broad geographic designations such as Grace and Jamestown, reflecting the large-scale spatial organization of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Venango Cem, located just across the state line in Nebraska. The scarcity of named landmarks highlights the area's rural character, where the primary features are section lines, elevation points, and a few isolated Wells, showcasing the infrastructure of mid-century prairie farming and the importance of rail transport for remote agricultural communities.
