About this map

The Yadkin River defines the landscape of this region, carving a path that separates Davie, Davidson, and Forsyth counties. Along its banks and the interior uplands, established communities like Advance and Bermuda Run anchor the rural-to-suburban transition. The topography is marked by a complex network of tributaries including Dutchman Creek, Fulton Cr, and Peoples Cr, which historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks.

Genealogists will find value in the location of the Mount Pleasant Methodist Cem and the Fork Cem near the southern boundary. Aviation history is also present, with the Twin Lakes Airport and the Marchmont Plantation Airpark indicating the area's modern infrastructure. The map records the persistence of several smaller locales such as Bixby, Redland, and Cornatzer, reflecting the long-standing community identities that have survived into the twenty-first century.
