About this map

Tanglewood Park and the winding Yadkin River anchor this landscape along the border of Forsyth, Yadkin, and Davie counties. The terrain reflects a mix of growing residential communities and traditional rural centers, with Lewisville and Clemmons showing significant expansion by the late 1960s. Rural life is grounded by a dense network of community churches and schools, including Grapevine Ch, New Hope Ch, and Enon Sch.

Transportation patterns are defined by historic routes like Shallowford Road and Styers Ferry Road, which once served crucial river crossings. The presence of the Southern railroad and industrial markers like the Quarry near the riverbank speak to the area's economic base. Water bodies such as Lasater Lake and Shallowford Lakes highlight the transition toward recreational land use in the Yadkin Valley during this era of North Carolina's development.
