2013 Map of Powellsville

About this map

Powellsville serves as the primary hub of this eastern North Carolina landscape, where small rural settlements are separated by an extensive network of wetlands. Small communities like Cremo, Holly Grove, and Elm Grove dot the countryside, connected by roads such as Snow Ave and Wynn Rd. The geography is defined by its drainages, including Quioccosin Swamp, Wildcat Swamp, and the interestingly named Barbeque Swamp. A notable modern landmark is Dragonfly Field Airport, situated north of Stony Cr. The map reveals a land use pattern dominated by agricultural tracts and timberlands, with scattered crossroads such as Buzzards Crossroads marking historic intersection points. Narrow waterways like Ahoskie Cr and Cucklemaker Creek wind through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of Bertie County's interior.
