1977 Map of Jamesville

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Jamesville and its surrounding agricultural fields occupy the fingers of land reaching into the Chesapeake Bay on Virginia's Eastern Shore. This orthophotographic study, based on imagery from late 1977, reveals a landscape defined by deep tidal inlets and waterfront access points. To the north, Davis Wharf sits at a critical junction along Occohannock Creek, reflecting the importance of maritime commerce and local landings in Northampton County. The settlement of Wardtown is situated inland, away from the immediate shoreline but connected to the network of roads serving the peninsula's farms. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the broad waters of Nassawadox Creek, while the northern boundary is marked by Nandua Creek. These waterways dictate the settlement patterns and field boundaries, showing a rural community deeply integrated with the Chesapeake's complex coastline.
