About this map

Jamestown serves as the primary hub for this portion of Greene County, situated at the confluence of several local roads and the South Branch Caesar Creek. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by the early 1960s road network, including the Baltimore Road and South Charleston Road, which connect a series of small, unincorporated communities. A significant concentration of historical burial grounds, such as Old Silver Creek Cem and the Quaker Cem, suggests deep genealogical roots in the Silver Creek and Ross townships.

Educational sites are scattered throughout the rural sections, including a Township Sch near Grape Grove and the Township High Sch located just north of the Jamestown center. The terrain is notably etched by numerous watercourses, with the South Fork Massies Creek and Rattlesnake Creek draining the northern and eastern reaches, highlighting the drainage patterns essential to the area's farming history.
