2022 Map of King

About this map

King and its surrounding communities are mapped here near the Stokes Co and Forsyth Co line, where the suburban growth of the northern Piedmont meets the rising slopes of Sauratown Mountain. This survey reveals a landscape dense with family-named landmarks and small rural nodes like Capella, Quaker Gap, and Poplar Springs. The drainage pattern is defined by the headwaters of several key streams, including Town Fork Creek and Neatman Creek, which have shaped the settlement of these valleys over generations. Genealogists will find this particular sheet exceptionally useful for its identification of numerous burial grounds, from the Old Mount Olive Cemetery and Tillotson Cemetery to church-affiliated sites like the Quaker Gap Baptist Church Cemetery. The southern edge captures the community of Tobaccoville and the crossing of the East Prong Little Yadkin River, documenting the local road network and residential expansion into formerly agricultural lands.
