2022 Map of Quitsna

About this map

The Roanoke River snakes through the heart of the Bertie and Martin County border, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and meandering waterways. In this corner of the Coastal Plain, the Roquist Pocosin and Town Swamp illustrate the difficult terrain that shaped early regional settlement patterns and road networks. Small communities like Quitsna and Grabtown are situated on the slightly higher ground north of the river, connected by rural routes such as Roquist Pocosin Rd and Indian Woods Rd. Along the river itself, distinctive fluvial features like Frying Pan Bend and Conine Bend reveal the dynamic nature of the local hydrography. To the south, Conoho Creek drains toward the larger river system near Conine Island, while the western edge of the map identifies the settlement of Poplar Point.
