2014 Map of Jamison

About this map

The Keya Paha River winds through this Nebraska-South Dakota borderland, creating a complex drainage system of creeks and draws. Small settlements like Brocksburg and Jamison serve as local anchors in an area defined by its water management, evidenced by several irrigation and storage sites including Peterson Reservoir and Hitchcock Reservoir. The map illustrates the transition from the high plains down to the river valley, where land use shifts from open range to localized features such as Burkinshaw Field. This rural landscape is intersected by Ne-12 and Ne-137, connecting isolated homesteads to the wider region. Genealogists may find value in the presence of Emmanuel Cem near the state line, while researchers can trace the course of numerous tributaries such as Spotted Tail Cr and Alkali Cr as they feed into the primary river valley.
