1962 Map of Emkay

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Union Pacific rail lines anchor the northern half of this Wyoming landscape, connecting the small industrial and transit points of Otto, Corlett, and Emkay. This 1960s survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous drainages, where a series of eastward-flowing watercourses—Lone Tree Creek, Willow Creek, and Goose Creek—cut through the high plains toward the Cheyenne vicinity. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the presence of Happy Jack Road and the pipeline routes that follow the contours of the drainage basins. Further south, the map details the headwaters of Duck Creek and Spotwood Creek, showing a transition into more dissected terrain. These features reflect the importance of rail and water management in Laramie County's development during the mid-20th century, providing a clear view of the ranching and transportation corridors that shaped the area's growth.
