1981 Map of Grist Mountain

About this map

High Rock Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the western landscape of this Davidson County survey, where the waters of Abbotts Creek meet the surrounding foothills. The rural character of the region is defined by a network of small communities and family landmarks, including Silver Hill and Cedar Grove. Transportation and industry are centered on the Winston-Salem Southbound railroad line, which cuts through the northern section near Central High School. A lone Mine located south of Bethany Ch points to the area's mineral history, while the crossing at Brown Loftin Bridge connects the lands divided by Flat Swamp Creek. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points, from the Workman Cem to the New Jerusalem Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of these Piedmont ridges and valleys.
