2010 Map of Amiret

About this map

Amiret serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Lyon County, where the village is anchored by the Amiret Post Office and nearby Amiret Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Cottonwood River, which snakes across the southwestern and central portions of the quadrangle, joined in the north by Meadow Creek. The rigid grid of section roads, such as County Hwy-9 and 180th St, illustrates the systematic land division of the prairie, punctuated by specialized rural infrastructure like the Griffith-Glynn Farm Pond Dam. Genealogists and local historians can find points of interest ranging from the Bethel Cemetery in the south to the small clusters of development that remain from the town's earlier era, all set against the broad, level expanses of the Minnesota river valley.
