About this map

The Yadkin River defines the western edge of this Piedmont landscape, carving the Yadkin Valley where the borders of Forsyth, Yadkin, and Davie counties meet. In the late 1960s, this area reflects a period of suburban transition, centered on the growing community of Clemmons and the village of Lewisville. Educational and recreational development is prominent, seen in the campus of West Forsyth High School and the extensive grounds of Tanglewood Park near the riverbanks.

Rural heritage remains visible through a dense network of country churches like Grapevine Ch, Capernium Ch, and Center Grove Ch. Transportation patterns are shaped by historical crossings and modern routes, from Shallowford Road to the Southern railroad line. The map captures the creek-fed terrain between Lasater Lake and Shallowford Lakes, showing numerous unnamed cemeteries and small settlements like Grapewood and West Bend before further 20th-century expansion.
