2022 Map of Belews Lake

About this map

Belews Lake dominates the central and southern reaches of this landscape, its intricate, branching fingers reaching into four North Carolina counties including Stokes, Rockingham, Forsyth, and Guilford. The northern half of the map retains its riverine character, defined by the winding Dan River and its confluence with Eurins Creek near the community of Pine Hall. This 2022 survey captures the modern road network that services the reservoir's recreational and residential developments, including the numerous loops and lanes such as Bent Plantation Lane and Old Wagon Trail. Away from the water, the map documents long-standing rural landmarks such as Eden Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, which serve as anchors for local genealogy. The settlement of Stokesdale marks the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, illustrating the continued development of the Piedmont region south of Madison.
