About this map

Jay Em serves as the central hub of this eastern Wyoming landscape, situated along the historic route of Ft. Laramie Rd. The settlement's proximity to Rawhide Creek and a nearby Cemetery provides a focal point for genealogical research in this part of Goshen County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and intermittent water features, including Red Cloud Slough, Lowry Draw, and Muskrat Creek.

A distinct irrigation and ranching economy is evident through features like the Ditch and the Sixmile Creek Ranch located in the southeast. This 1990s revision maintains the traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, showing the transition between T 29 N and T 28 N. The presence of a gravel or borrow Pit near the main road reflects the localized land use and infrastructure development characteristic of the High Plains during this era.
