2010 Map of Valhalla

About this map

Chowan River dominates the western edge of this coastal plain landscape, where its wide waters meet a series of landings and community points. Residential developments such as Arrowhead Beach and Chowan Beach represent the modern growth of the shoreline, while the interior remains defined by older agricultural and water-management patterns. The map highlights numerous small settlements connected by a web of local roads, including Valhalla, Rockyhock, and Cisco. Significant water bodies like Dillard Millpond and Bennett Mill Pond suggest the historic importance of mill operations along Rockyhock Creek and its tributaries. Local history is further grounded by the Nixon Cemetery and family-named landmarks like Johnsons Point. The presence of multiple river access points, such as White Landing and Harris Landing, underscores a long-standing reliance on the river for transport and commerce in this corner of North Carolina.
