About this map

Jamestown and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by the winding course of the Little River and the prominent rise of Shinbone Ridge. This topographic study reveals a community anchored by numerous family and church burial grounds, including Henderson-Hill Cemetery, Mosely Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery. Small, dispersed settlements like New Moon, Berry Springs, and Grover are connected by a network of county roads such as Co RD 103 and Co RD 861, reflecting a post-war pattern of rural development where traditional land features intersect with modern infrastructure.

The hydrology of the region is complex, with the West Fork Little River joining various tributaries including Straight Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Culstigh Creek. Local landmarks like Billys Ford and names such as Five Points suggest historical crossing and meeting points that have persisted through the decades. The map illustrates how the terrain influences the placement of these crossroads and the preservation of historical sites like Alexander Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery.
