2010 Map of Amherst

About this map

The Tomorrow River and Waupaca River corridors define the landscape of this central Wisconsin region, where the villages of Nelsonville, Amherst Junction, and Amherst developed around water power and transportation. Dams at Nelsonville Dam and Amherst Dam created the local impoundments of Nelsonville Pond 69 and Amherst Millpond 90, which historically served as the industrial hearts of their respective communities. This 2010 map provides a clear picture of the area's transition from traditional river-town settlement to modern residential and recreational patterns, with numerous lakes such as Lake Emily, Meyers Lake, and Turtle Lake dotting the glaciated terrain.
