1974 Map of Jay Em

About this map

Jay Em stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Goshen County, situated along the banks of Rawhide Creek. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Muskrat Creek and the meandering Red Cloud Slough, which characterize the high plains topography. A notable historical transport corridor, the Ft Laramie Road, traverses the western portion of the map, tracing a legacy of western expansion and local commerce through the prairie. Further south, the Sixmile Creek Ranch and Sixmile Creek anchor the rural landscape, while a prominent north-south pipeline and various scattered wells reflect the mid-century infrastructure supporting the region's ranching and industrial activity. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional divisions between T 29 N and T 28 N, marking the transition across this high-plains terrain in the mid-1970s.
