2021 Map of Jamesville

About this map

The Roanoke River dominates the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, winding its way through a dense network of wetlands and tributary channels along the Bertie Co and Martin Co line. The settlement of Jamesville serves as the primary hub, situated on the southern bank where the river curves. This area is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring intricate waterways such as Devils Gut, Spellers Creek, and Gardner Creek that thread through the low-lying terrain near Conine Island. South of the river, the landscape transitions into a series of named wetlands, including Cooper Swamp, Deep Run Swamp, and Lanier Swamp. A network of rural roads, many bearing family names like Wendell-Griffin Rd and Arthur Modlin Rd, connects the scattered homesteads and agricultural lands that occupy the higher ground between these swampy basins.
