About this map

Arrowhead Beach and Chowan Beach line the eastern shore of the Chowan River in this late 20th-century depiction of the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Moving inland from the river landings like Rockyhock Landing and Bass Landing, the landscape is defined by the wetlands of Bear Swamp and Pollock Swamp. Small communities and crossroads serve as the primary anchors for the region, including Rockyhock, Smalls Crossroads, and the quadrangle's namesake, Valhalla.

Educational and religious centers are numerous, with locations such as Chowan Academy, White Oak Sch, and Warren Grove Ch providing essential points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The influence of early infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade near Cisco and the presence of millponds like Dillard Millpond and Bennett Millpond, which reflect the historic water-powered industry of the area.
