About this map

The Yadkin River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving through the Yadkin Valley at the border of Forsyth, Yadkin, and Davie Counties. This survey reflects a period of mid-century suburban expansion around Clemmons and Lewisville, while maintaining its rural character through numerous family-named roads and small community hubs. To the south, Tanglewood Park occupies a large bend in the river, anchoring a recreational corridor that includes Mallard Lake and several golf courses.

Local infrastructure is represented by educational centers like West Forsyth High School and industrial sites including a quarry near the riverbanks. The map documents numerous small congregations such as Grapevine Church, New Hope Church, and Shiloh Church, which served as the social anchors for outlying settlements like Harmony Grove and West Bend. Water management is evident in the cluster of small reservoirs including Shallowford Lakes and Lasater Lake, which punctuate the rolling creek-fed terrain.
