About this map

High Rock Lake dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, where the Yadkin River defines the border between Davidson and Rowan counties. The mid-century terrain is marked by a network of rural congregations and small settlements, such as Healing Springs and Jackson Hill, connected by the Winston-Salem Southbound railroad and the High Point Thomasville and Denton line.

Old river crossings provide a look into earlier transit patterns, including Bringle Ferry and Morgan Ford, alongside the more modern Stokes Ferry Bridge. Numerous community landmarks like Luthers Ch and Antioch Ch anchor the surrounding townships of Morgan, Alleghany, and Harris, while the presence of an Underground Telephone Line running through the southern section signals the post-war infrastructure expansion into this agricultural region.
