About this map

Chowan River dominates this coastal landscape as it flows into the Albemarle Sound, defining the boundary between Chowan and Bertie counties. In the early 1980s, the western banks remain characterized by several riverfront landings such as Mt Gould Landing, Steele Landing, and Willifords Landing, reflecting a legacy of maritime access points. To the east, the historic town of Edenton sits at the junction of Pembroke Creek and Edenton Bay, where the Edenton National Fish Hatchery is a prominent local landmark.

Evidence of the region's changing infrastructure is visible in the Old RR Grade cutting through the northeast near Hancock. The interior landscape is dotted with rural churches and small family-named communities like Macedonia, while the presence of numerous sandpits near Pollock Swamp indicates the local importance of resource extraction. Small cemeteries and local congregations, including Oxley Hill Ch and Hoffman Chapel, provide essential reference points for genealogists researching Chowan County families.
