Main floodlights is the Isle, which drains approximately in the center of the municipality Jumilhac -le- Grand in general southwesterly direction. He takes on the northern border as right side creek coming from the north Ruisseau le Galet on. Downstream, a short distance north of the town center empties into the Isle of then coming from the north-west Périgord. In the south of the municipality extends to the parallel to the Isle extending approximately Roulet (or its extension, the Ruisseau de Layaud ) border to Sarlande. In the West Jumilhac -le- Grand achieved in Marsaud the flowing southward Rochille, a left tributary of the Valouse.
The topographically lowest point in the municipal area of 186 meters located on the southwest border at Combeyrol; here leaves the Isle the church in the west. The highest point of 442 meters is located in the east at Grand Seignat near the border with Saint- Yrieix- la -Perche.
Geology
The community Jumilhac -le- Grand is located entirely on the metamorphic geology of the northwestern Massif Central. The upcoming rocks form part of the Lower Gneiss ceiling, mainly are the mica schist, paragneiss, micaceous engined paragneiss and medium -grained Leptynite; The latter form the arch of Saint -Yrieix and the "arch of Sarlande. The mica schist have emerged from Argiliten, the paragneiss expected from spätneoproterozoischen greywacke and more clayey parent rocks come from. The granitic Leptynite be attributed to the Ordovician.
Associated with the micaceous paragneisses ring is a south- trending forming mica schist belt in La Farge, as well as several smaller apophyses of the muscovite -bearing granite - Bourneix along the valleys of the Isle and the Périgord. Also, with the mica schists and in its vicinity several isolated Amphibolitvorkommen with epidote or garnet. The mica schist appear again along the southern border with Combeyrol, but they emphasize at this point in the afternoon. In addition, the community affected here just in the ultrabasic massif Sarrazac with smaller isolated Serpentinitvorkommen, serpentinized peridotite and Metagabbrokörpern (former oceanic crust material ). This massif is cut off to the west of Combeyrol on a north-south trending, partly kataklasischen fault zone.
The metamorphic rocks have all achieved the degree of Staurolithzone, but can also be higher metamorphic ( kyanite and Sillimanitzone ), especially in the north of the municipal territory near the intrusions of Bourneix - granite.
The foliation sweeps in the western part of the municipality generally northeast-southwest, but turn on a Southeast direction to the northeast. There was thus structurally a synform, the so-called Jumilhac- synform.
The basement rocks are in places face down on the ridge between the rivers of Pleistocene Old rites, fluvial usually colluvial origin. Two major tongues of river sediments have been preserved at La Forêt Jeune and Les Trois Bornes, which may go back to the Pliocene. The gravel consist of up to 30 cm wide quartz pebbles embedded in a sandy matrix.
To mention in natural resources and minerals are the gold deposits at Les Fouilloux that are degraded BC since the third century before all things. You are bound to a North - trending lode within the micaceous ring paragneiss, only near one of the intrusions Bourneix - granite. A little further south at Sevey a similarly oriented Pegmatitgang was mined on kaolin. Both courses are related to the large gold-bearing passage of Bourneix (Haute -Vienne ) in context. In the dolomitic breccia of Combeyrol, which was formed on the above- mentioned fault zone can be found next to dolomite Fuchsit and chromite.
History
The prehistoric human presence is evidenced in Jumilhac -le- Grand by several tumuli, such as La Peyrière. Gold mining was 250-150 BC. The origins of the Château de Jumilhac go back to the 12th century. The church dates back ( at least) from the 14th century.
