2019 Map of Amherst

About this map

Amherst sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Phillips County, where the settlement is defined by a rigid grid of county roads and a primary diagonal thoroughfare. The town structure is anchored by Monmouth Ave, which serves as a central artery for the small community. Just north of the main residential area, the Amherst Cem provides a focal point for local genealogical research, marking the history of the families who settled this agricultural region. The terrain is notably open, carved only by the winding path of Wildhorse Cr as it meanders through the southern sections. This 2019 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the Public Land Survey System, with the landscape divided into clear townships like t8n r43w, reflecting a century of rural development and land management in northeastern Colorado.
