1968 Map of Jamesville

About this map

Occohannock Creek and Craddock Creek dominate this coastal landscape on Virginia's Eastern Shore, carving deep inlets into the land. The mapping reveals a maritime economy defined by waterfront hubs like Concord Wharf, Morleys Wharf, and James Wharf, which served as critical link points between the peninsula's interior farms and the Chesapeake Bay. Inland, the settlement pattern follows the high ground of the necks, with small communities such as Jamesville and Wardtown established along local routes like 183. Significant historical landmarks, including Bethel Ch and St Marys Ch, anchor these rural neighborhoods. Extensive tidal flats and points like Powells Bluff and Savage Pt trace a shifting shoreline, illustrating the delicate balance between the land and the bay's waters in the late 1960s.
