2010 Map of Powhatan

About this map

The James River forms the northern boundary of this central Virginia landscape, where the town of Powhatan serves as a focal point for a network of rural routes and historic family-named settlements. The map illustrates a transition from the river lowlands to the higher ground occupied by Jefferson, Provost, and Macon. Local infrastructure is defined by several mid-century water management features, including the John L Lewis Dam and Mill Quarter Dam, which have shaped the drainage patterns of Fighting Creek and Neds Creek.
