1964 Map of Powhatan

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The community of Powhatan and the rural outskirts of Smithfield define this portion of Johnston County in the mid-1960s. The landscape is deeply etched by watercourses, including Swift Creek, Middle Creek, and Sassaraxa Creek, which are flanked by terrain features like Steep Hill. This region is a collection of several townships including Clayton, Cleveland, and Elevation, characterized by a dense network of country churches that served as the primary social anchors for these farming communities. Notable landmarks include the Short Journey Sch and numerous family-named houses of worship like Averys Grove Ch and Johnston Union Ch. The Southern railroad line cuts through the northeast, facilitating the transport of goods near Wilson Mills while a major Pipeline traverses the center of the sheet, reflecting the integration of modern infrastructure into an otherwise traditional agrarian setting.
