2011 Map of Midway

About this map

Lake Tom-A-Lex serves as a central hydrological feature for this Piedmont landscape south of Winston-Salem, capturing the drainage of Abbotts Creek and Brushy Fork. The terrain is defined by a dense network of secondary roads and established residential clusters such as Midway, Bethesda, and Ebenezer. These settlements reflect the post-war suburbanization of Forsyth and Davidson counties, where former agricultural lands transitioned into communities like The Oaks and Ridgeview Acres. Local history is anchored by Bethany Cemetery and the various branches feeding into Rich Fork, tracing the natural paths of the region's development. Smaller water bodies like Snyders Lake and named drainages such as Oil Mill Branch and Little Brushy Fork provide fine-grained detail for property researchers and genealogists tracing family lands in this part of North Carolina.
