2019 Map of Powellsville

About this map

Powellsville serves as the primary junction in this part of Bertie County, where major local routes like W Main St and S Commerce St meet. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and drainage systems, including the expansive Ahoskie Swamp to the north and the Pell Mell Pocosin to the south. These water systems, such as Ahoskie Creek and Quioccosin Swamp, historically dictated the placement of early roads and settlements, creating a dispersed rural pattern seen in communities like Cremo and Buzzards Crossroads. For those tracing local history, the map identifies significant family and community landmarks such as Highland Memorial Cem and Stony Creek Cem near the Hertford County line, alongside smaller clearings like Dragonfly Field.
