2013 Map of Jerome

About this map

Little Singletary Lake and Horseshoe Lake define the watery, low-lying character of this Bladen County landscape. The settlement of Jerome sits along the western edge of the quadrangle, connected to the surrounding countryside by a network of family-named roads like Dennis Harold Simmons Rd and Tatum and Monroe Ln. The terrain is marked by distinctive wetland features typical of the Carolina coastal plain, including several named "bays" such as Marshy Bay, Bucks Bay, and Thick Branch Bay. These oval-shaped depressions and sluggish watercourses like Lake Run and Harrison Cr create a complex hydrological pattern. Local heritage is further anchored by landmarks such as Live Oak Methodist Church Rd and Sharon Church Rd, which point to established rural community centers in a region historically dominated by timber and agriculture.
