Severn, NC

united states

Severn is a tiny farming community in northeastern North Carolina, just 15 miles from the Virginia line. US Highway 158 runs right through town, connecting east to Murfreesboro and west to Roanoke Rapids, while State Road 35 heads north-south through tobacco country. Most visitors pass through on local routes rather than long-distance travel, as this is classic rural crossroads territory where the Roanoke River's fertile bottomland supported tobacco farming for generations.
