2016 Map of Advance

About this map

The Yadkin River defines the landscape as it winds through the meeting point of Davie, Forsyth, and Davidson counties. Along its banks, the Idols Reservoir and various creeks like Bailey Cr and Carter Cr underscore the region's historical reliance on these waterways. This 2016 survey captures the residential expansion surrounding the village of Advance and the gated community of Bermuda Run, juxtaposed with longstanding rural landmarks. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Twin Lakes Airport and the Marchmont Plantation Airpark. Genealogists may find value in documented burial grounds such as Fork Cem near the southern settlement of Fork, and the Mount Pleasant Methodist Cem further north, which alongside settlements like Cornatzer and Bixby, illustrate the settled character of this Piedmont territory.
