2013 Map of Powhatan

About this map

Powhatan serves as the central hub of this Piedmont landscape, situated just south of the James River as the county entered the second decade of the 21st century. The map illustrates a transitional rural character where traditional settlements like Provost, Jefferson, and Macon are linked by a network of historic corridors such as Cartersville Rd and Old Buckingham Rd. To the northwest, the Powhatan State WMA and Powhatan Lakes define a large protected area for wildlife and recreation. Residential patterns show modern development branching off older routes, with names like Old Plantation Rd and Tilmans Farm Dr hinting at the area's agricultural heritage. Numerous creek systems, including Fighting Cr and Fine Cr, carve through the terrain, while the Plainview Airport near Plain View indicates the modern infrastructure supporting this community west of the state capital.
