2013 Map of Powhatan

About this map

Johnston County Airport sits at the heart of this landscape in the early 2010s, surrounded by a complex network of residential developments and agricultural land in Johnston County. The map details the transition from rural acreage to suburban sprawl, with settlements like Powhatan and Whitley Heights serving as focal points for local growth. The hydrology of the region is a defining characteristic, with the Neuse River clipping the southeastern corner and the expansive Sassarixa Swamp marking the low-lying terrain to the south. Numerous small tributaries, including Swift Cr, Middle Cr, and the appropriately named Steep Hill Br, drain the area into several larger water bodies such as Panther Lake and Powell Lake. This survey provides an excellent record of modern road naming and property division, from established routes like Corbett Rd to newer residential lanes near the Johnson County Wildlife Pond.
