About this map

East Bend and the surrounding rural communities of Yadkin County are captured here at the close of the 20th century. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Forbush Creek and Deep Creek, which cut through the terrain to create a mosaic of ridges and hollows. Local centers such as Smithtown and Union Grove serve as anchors for a network of country roads including Siloam Road and Richmond Hill Road.

A notable density of community landmarks provides significant value for local historians, with numerous rural congregations like Half Creek Tabernacle, Mt Carmel Ch, and Sugar Grove Ch scattered across the quadrangle. Educational and infrastructure developments are evident at Forbush High School and the Yadkin County Airport, while the legacy of earlier settlement remains visible in the siting of Fall Creek Sch and the historic Richmond Hill area.
