2015 Map of Jamesville

About this map

The James River meanders sharply through the heart of Jamesville Township, defining a landscape dominated by the river's broad floodplains and the high bluffs that hem them in. Near the northern bend sits the small settlement of Jamesville, while to the east, Vedin Corner marks a rural junction along the section lines. This area of Yankton County shows a clear pattern of land use where the upland prairie is gridded for agriculture, contrasted with the winding watercourses of Beaver Cr and Mud Cr that cut through the terrain to join the main river. To the south, Beaver Lake provides a distinct geographic anchor, surrounded by local routes like Beaver Lake Rd and Beaver Beach Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of Voll Cem and Martinus Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the community's early settlement history.
