About this map

Kernersville and Stokesdale anchor the southern and northern reaches of this Piedmont landscape, which transitions from suburban expansion to more rural tracts along the Forsyth and Guilford county line. The central geography is dominated by the sprawling branches of Belews Lake and the winding course of Belews Creek. This era of the landscape is defined by its residential growth, as evidenced by the dense network of roads such as Reidsville Rd and Linville Rd that connect smaller communities like Crims Crossroads and Talleys Crossing.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks including the Eastlawn Gardens of Memory and Mount Gur Cem, alongside several smaller bodies of water like Kernersville Lake and Walkers Lake. The headwaters of the Haw River and Reedy Fork cut through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the hydrology that originally shaped the settlement patterns of this region before modern development. Notable local features like Thompson Lake and the Lower Merchants Lake cluster near the Guilford County border, providing a clear record of local land use in the mid-2010s.
