About this map

The waters of Belews Lake dominate the northern terrain along the border of Forsyth and Guilford counties, representing a significant landscape shift recorded during the 1960s. The region is defined by its rural density, marked by numerous community churches such as Rock Hill Ch, Antioch Ch, and Oak Spring Ch that anchor small settlements like Belews Creek and Crims Crossroads. Transportation routes like Old Flatrock Road and Stafford Mill Road connect these crossroads, while the industrial and agricultural character is noted by a Quarry and the Sellers Landing Strip.

Expansion of Kernersville in the south reflects the transition of the area toward a more suburban character by the late twentieth century. Despite this growth, the map preserves the earlier locations of landmarks like Talleys Crossing and several family-named roads. The drainage of the Haw River and its tributaries, including Belews Creek and Kerners Creek, provides a clear view of the natural water systems before further development altered the regional hydrology.
