1978 Map of Jamesville
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Roanoke River dominates this mid-1970s landscape, carving a meandering boundary between Bertie and Martin counties. The intricate waterway system, including the serpentine Devils Gut and Lower Deadwater Creek, defines a low-lying geography where human settlement is concentrated on the slightly higher ground south of the river. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs parallel to the river, anchoring the town of Jamesville and the nearby Tar Landing. This region is characterized by its numerous rural congregations, with St James Ch, Siloam Ch, and Fairview Ch serving as community hubs. The map reveals a transition from the swampy river bottoms of Cooper Swamp and Lanier Swamp to more developed uplands where family-named locations like Hardison and Goddard Hill are found along the secondary road networks like Allen Road.
