About this map

Abbotts Creek and its many tributaries, including Brushy Fork, Rich Fork, and Leonard Creek, define the rolling drainage patterns of this rural landscape spanning the border of Forsyth and Davidson counties. In the late 1940s, the area remained largely agricultural, evidenced by the dense network of country roads and the concentration of social centers such as Midway School, Pilot School, and numerous local congregations.

Small settlements like Eller and Gum Tree dot the northern reaches, while the rail corridor of the Winston-Salem Southbound railroad cuts through the western half of the quadrangle. Significant infrastructure for the era is visible near the Thomasville boundary, including a Pumping Station and an Airway Beacon, highlighting the modernization of utility and navigation networks alongside traditional landmarks like Bethlehem Church and Hebron Church.
