About this map

The Chowan River and its confluence with the Meherrin River dominate this landscape on the border of Hertford and Gates Counties. The town of Winton serves as a focal point near the river's southern bend, featuring the Brown Sch and an established riverfront character. To the west, the winding path of Potecasi Creek cuts through low-lying terrain, while Sand Banks rise to the east of the main channel.

Evidence of the local river-based economy and social structure is visible in the scattered landings and smaller settlements such as Tunis and Chowan Beach. The map also captures the cultural landscape through landmarks like Mt Moriah Ch, Gods Healing Cathedral, and the Askew Cem. Industrial and recreational development are noted by the presence of a Golf Course and Industrial Waste Ponds, reflecting the modern land use patterns alongside traditional river crossings like Parkers Ferry.
