2022 Map of Powhatan

About this map

Powhatan serves as the focal point of this Virginia quadrangle, dominated by the historic Powhatan County Courthouse and its surrounding network of local roads. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the James River basin, including Deep Creek, Fine Cr, and Fighting Cr, which cut through the Piedmont terrain. Small rural crossroads such as Macon, Provost, and Worshams anchor the surrounding countryside, reflecting long-standing settlement patterns in the county. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Belmead Cem and Petersville Cem, as well as the proximity of several distinct water bodies like John L Lewis Lake and Randolph Lake. The inclusion of Plainview Airport and Saunders Field highlights the diverse land use in this central Virginia corridor.
