Wiccacon

The Wiccacon River rises where small streams meet in Hoggard Swamp and flows east through the wooded coastal plain to the Chowan River. About seventeen miles long, it is one of the waterways feeding the country north of Albemarle Sound. Its name appeared in several forms on early maps: Weecaunse Creek in 1733, Veecaune Creek in 1770 and Wiccacon Creek in 1808.
