About this map

The Chowan River snakes through this portion of Hertford County, defining the landscape and historical transport routes of the region. As the river moves past Winton, it meets the Meherrin River and Potecasi Creek, creating a complex network of waterways that once supported numerous river crossings and landings. Traditional river-access points like Parkers Ferry, Jones Ferry, and Mitchell Landing are documented alongside islands such as Dowry Island and Flax Island.

Industrial and community footprints are visible in the eastern reaches, where the Farmers Chemical Assoc Lake and its associated dam contrast with the agricultural character of Bartonsville and Storys. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Askew Cemetery and historical milling operations at Harrells Mill. This survey also records curiously named localities like No Grease and Mount Gallows, as well as recreational riverfronts at Chowan Beach and Tuscarora Beach.
