2016 Map of Jamesville

About this map

The Roanoke River dominates this landscape along the boundary of Bertie and Martin counties. The settlement of Jamesville serves as the focal point, situated at the edge of extensive wetlands including Deep Run Swamp and Cooper Swamp. The riverine environment north of the town is defined by complex waterways such as Devils Gut and Spellers Cr, which surround large landforms like Conine Island. Local history and genealogy interests are reflected in the dense network of rural roads south of the river, often bearing family names such as Frank Barber Rd, Wendell Modlin Rd, and Arthur Modlin Rd. Transportation patterns reveal a transition from river-based landmarks like Kaders Eddy and Tar Landing Rd to the more modern thoroughfares that bypass the town's core near Water St and Middle St.
