Amos is a historical populated place near the junction of 140 and U.S. 95.
Bancroft (1890) lists Cane Spring as one of the towns and settlements in Humboldt County.[1].
The Amos Post Office was in operation from Jan 1889 - Apr 1890 & Mar 1898 - Dec 1926.[2]
See Amos 1914 Pump Station Nevada for a discussion about an envelope with a Amos, Nevada cancellation.
