2014 Map of Amoret

About this map

The state line between Kansas and Missouri serves as the western boundary for this study of western Bates County, where small agricultural settlements are connected by a network of rural roads and section lines. The village of Amsterdam is laid out with a traditional grid including Main St and Walnut St, while Amoret sits further south along the same north-south axis. Numerous small family or community burial grounds, such as Walley Cemetery, Scott Cemetery, and Benjamin Cemetery, are scattered throughout the countryside, providing vital reference points for local genealogists.
