2022 Map of Jamestown

About this map

The community of Jamestown serves as a central point in this rural landscape, situated among the many tributaries of the Big Cow Cr drainage system. Settled along the border of Jasper and Newton counties, the area is characterized by a dense network of creek branches and named gullies like Lewis Gully, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its hydrology. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the region is dotted with family and community landmarks, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Farrsville Cem, and Pine Hill Cem. These burial grounds, alongside the Huff Creek Com and the settlement of Farrsville, indicate long-standing community roots in this timber-rich section of East Texas. The road network, including Weeks Chapel Rd and FM 1012, connects these dispersed settlements and cemeteries, tracing the historical movement of residents through the piney woods and across Yellow Bayou.
