1971 Map of Jay

About this map

The Delaware County seat of Jay serves as the focal point for this early 1970s survey, showing the town's expansion toward the Roadside Park and the municipal Sewage Disp Ponds. To the northwest, the fingers of Lake O' the Cherokees reach into the landscape near the small settlement of Zena, marking the transition from upland terrain to the Grand Lake reservoir system. The topographic data captures a network of creeks and hollows, including the winding Muskrat and Drowning drainages. For local history, the map provides precise locations for several rural landmarks such as the Lookout Tower and Round Spring Ch. Significant genealogical value is found in the scattered burial grounds, including Duffield Memorial Cem and Jumper Cem, which are situated among the intricate ridges and valleys of the Round Spring Hollow region.
