2016 Map of Powhatan

About this map

Powhatan sits as the central hub of this Virginia landscape, where the traditional rural layout of Powhatan County meets modern infrastructure. To the north, the James River forms the natural boundary of the quadrangle, with settlements like Provost and Jefferson historically connected to the river corridor. The map reveals a high density of named water features, including Fighting Creek and Fine Creek, alongside man-made landmarks such as Saunders Field and the Plainview Airport. Local history is anchored by sites like Belmead Cemetery and Petersville Cemetery, while residential growth is visible in the network of manor roads and trails surrounding the county seat. This 2016 survey documents the enduring character of a Piedmont community, balancing its agricultural roots near Macon and Worshams with the expansion of suburban-style developments and managed water bodies like Powhatan Lakes and Randolph Lake.
