About this map

The James River snakes through the heart of this Yankton County landscape, creating a dramatic series of tight oxbow bends that define the local geography. Near the river's upper reaches on this sheet, the small settlement of Jamesville sits along the banks where Co HWY 211 meets NW Jim River RD. The terrain is marked by a grid of agricultural section roads, punctuated by significant water features such as Beaver Lake and its outlet at Beaver Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of community landmarks like Vedin Corner and two distinct burial sites: Voll Cem in the east and Martinus Cem further south near 302nd ST. These features, along with names like Mud Cr and Beaver Beach Rd, reflect the enduring rural character and historical settlement patterns of Jamesville Township as they appeared in the early 21st century.
