How to Use This Potters Hill, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Potters Hill, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Potters Hill.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Potters Hill, North Carolina
Potters Hill is a locality in Duplin County, North Carolina, United States. It is a small community with a population of 437. The population density is 31.5 people per km². Potters Hill is located at 34.9688°N, 77.7103°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 28572.Potters Hill rises from the flat, dark soil of the interior plains where the landscape holds a quiet, deliberate stillness. It lies 21.6 miles south-southwest of Kinston, NC (from Kinston, NC: bearing 200°T), and is situated 17.3 miles northwest of Half Moon. The Buck Branch carves a narrow, winding path through the heavy clay earth, its waters mirroring the thick canopy of hardwoods that stand guard along its banks. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge rests against the horizon, a reminder of the rugged elevations that anchor the western edge of the state. During the humid afternoons of late summer, the air remains heavy and thick, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine needles that drift in from the direction of Hofmann Forest.
Potters Hill maintains a character defined by its long-standing relationship with the land, where the economy has shifted from the labor of traditional tobacco crops toward a more modern, diverse agricultural focus. Families often congregate at the Town of Beulaville - Humphrey Athletic Park, a space that serves as the social anchor for the surrounding region. While the proximity to Reedy Island provides a slight variation in the topography, the rhythm of daily life remains tethered to the harvest cycles and the modest pace of the inland plains. Small gatherings at local kitchens, where the nuances of vinegar-based barbecue are debated with polite intensity, define the social fabric of the people who call this place home.

About This Potters Hill Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Potters Hill, North Carolina. Coordinates: 34.968775, -77.710253. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Potters Hill includes the ZIP code (28572), telephone area code (910), county seat of Duplin County (Kenansville), and school district assignment (Duplin County Schools).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
