K311 Title: James
River
Location: Isle of Wight County, Rte. 17 at
the south end of the James River bridge. Description:
"The James River flows about 340 miles from the
junction of the Jackson and Cowpasture rivers in Botetourt
County to Hampton Roads at the Chesapeake Bay. In 1607 the
first permanent English settlement in the New World was
established on its banks at Jamestown. The colonists used
the river as a path for exploration. With modern cities
and shipyards as well as ancient plantations lining its
banks, the James River remains one of Virginia's most
important natural resources." Postcard(s) are here.
