How to Use This Winfall, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Winfall, 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 Winfall.

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.

Winfall emerges from the flat, humid expanse of the coastal plain as a quiet anchor of timber and field. It lies 13.0 miles west-southwest of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 246°T), and is situated 13.7 miles northeast of Edenton. The air here holds a heavy, salt-tinged moisture, a lingering breath from the Atlantic Ocean only ten miles to the east, which softens the edges of the horizon. To the west, the faint, hazy shadow of Sandy Ridge provides a subtle contrast to the otherwise level terrain that defines the local topography. The Perquimans River traces a slow, dark path just a mile away, its waters moving with a deliberate, sluggish grace through the low-lying fields. Nearby, the Perquimans County Open Space offers a sanctuary of native grasses and pines, while the distant, marshy silhouette of Crow Point Island breaks the surface of the waterways, marking the transition where the land yields to the tidal influence of the coast.

Winfall maintains a character shaped by the steady, cyclical labor of agriculture and the quiet endurance of its earliest families. The economy has long relied on the bounty of the soil, with wide, furrowed fields that catch the golden, slanted light of late afternoon, signaling a rhythm of harvest that dictates the passage of the seasons. While Dillard Millpond sits eleven miles away as a serene reminder of the region’s reliance on water-driven heritage, the daily life in Winfall remains grounded in the present, marked by the steady hum of commerce and the slow movement of local traffic. There is a distinct, unhurried quality to the afternoons here, where the sun reflects off the river and the shade of the trees provides a necessary respite from the heat, preserving a singular, modest dignity in the way the day unfolds.

About This Winfall Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Winfall, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.211603, -76.456674. 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 Winfall includes the ZIP code (27985, 27944), telephone area code (919, 984), county seat of Perquimans County (Hertford), and school district assignment (Perquimans 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.
