2013 Map of Amherst SE

About this map

The Colorado Nebraska border forms a sharp vertical divide across this high plains landscape, separating Phillips County and Chase County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Frenchman Creek in the south and Wildhorse Creek further north, which cut through the undulating contours of the plains. A strictly organized grid of rural routes, including Co Road 65 and Co Road 16, provides access to the agricultural parcels that dominate the region. Near the center of the sheet, the Pleasant Valley Cem stands as a quiet landmark of local heritage, situated along Co Road 61. Modern transportation is anchored by the dual lanes of Us-6 E and Us-6 W, which bisect the northern half of the quadrangle. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where land management is dictated by both natural drainage systems and the rigid boundaries of state and county jurisdictions.
