About this map

Belews Lake dominates the central and southern portions of this landscape, its complex shoreline winding through the junction of Stokes, Rockingham, Forsyth, and Guilford counties. The lake, formed by a dam on Belews Cr, creates a distinctive dendritic pattern across the terrain, shaping local travel and development. To the north, the Dan River snakes toward the town of Madison, where it is joined by Reed Cr. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its water resources and long-standing small settlements like Pine Hall and Stokesdale.

Transportation and genealogy are well-represented, with the Norfolk Southern rail line following the river valley through Pine Hall. Researchers focusing on local family histories will find several landmarks, including Mount Zion Cem near Crows Nest and Eden Cem to the east. The map also highlights recreational and community spaces such as Boy Scout Pond and various smaller tributaries like Eurins Cr and Bull Run.
