2016 Map of Jerome

About this map

Jerome sits at the heart of this coastal plain landscape, characterized by the unique Carolina Bay geological formations that dot the border of Bladen and Cumberland counties. Large elliptical depressions like Marshy Bay, White Pond Bay, and Bushy Lake define the hydrology of the area, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal ponds. Water moves through the terrain via Harrison Cr and Lake Run, feeding into larger bodies such as Little Singletary Lake and the distinctively shaped Horseshoe Lake. The road network, including Live Oak Methodist Church Rd and Old Fayetteville Rd, reflects a rural settlement pattern integrated with the natural drainage basins. Local family names and landmarks like Dennis Harold Simmons Rd and Rogers Bay provide specific points of interest for those tracing the geographic history of this wetland-rich region.
