2009 Map of Amy

About this map

Amy stands along the northern edge of this high plains landscape in Lane County, where the transition from traditional agriculture to a grid-defined road network is clearly visible. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Walnut Creek, which cuts a diagonal path through the prairie, providing a natural break in the otherwise orderly section lines. Named routes such as Dodge Rd, Frontier Rd, and Hickock Rd reinforce the regional history and development of western Kansas. This map documents a quiet period in the early 21st century when the landscape remained predominantly rural, shaped by the water of the Walnut Creek drainage and a series of county roads like Co Rd 110 and Gage Rd that connect the small settlement to the surrounding ranchland.
