Jamestown Island and the neighboring settlement of Jamestown anchor the northern banks of the James River, where the Jamestown-Scotland Wharf Ferry provides a vital cross-river connection to the Surry County side. This modern landscape is heavily defined by its historical preservation and recreational sites, featuring Smith Fort and several campgrounds such as First Settlers Campground and Jamestown Beach Campground. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the rural intersections of Surry, Old Courthouse Corners, and Alliance. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water features, including Grays Cr, Crouch Cr, and the expansive Green Swamp, which dictate the placement of roads like the Rolfe Hwy and Colonial Trl E. The map records a mix of residential growth in areas like Saint Georges Hundred alongside protected coastal landmarks such as Church Point and Swanns Point.
