2019 Map of King

About this map

King and its surrounding rural communities occupy the transitional landscape between the Piedmont and the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the E-Prong Little Yadkin River and Town Fork Creek, which have carved numerous small valleys across the southern portion of Stokes County. Settlement patterns follow the ridges and creek beds, connecting established locales such as Mount Olive, Quaker Gap, and Capella. In the northwest, the elevation rises toward Sauratown Mtn, near the recreational area of Camp Hanes and its associated Camp Hanes Lake. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history, documented through numerous burial grounds like the Tillotson Cem and Sizemore Cem, while the southern boundary marks the transition into Forsyth County near Tobaccoville.
