About this map

The settlement of Jerome sits on the western edge of a landscape dominated by the unique Carolina Bay formations that characterize this region of the coastal plain. Large, oval depressions such as White Pond Bay, Big Gallberry Bay, and Sessoms Bay dictate the geography, often filled with pocosin wetlands or water bodies like Little Singletary Lake. These distinctive natural basins are interconnected by a network of slow-moving watercourses including Lake Run and Harrison Cr.

Human activity is oriented around these geological features, with roads like Live Oak Methodist Church Rd and Old Fayetteville Rd navigating around the swampy margins. The area exhibits a pattern of rural settlement where family-named landmarks like Jessups Pond and Rogers Bay point to a long history of local land use within the complex wetland system of the Bladen County and Cumberland County borderlands.
