2016 Map of Midway

About this map

Lake Tom-A-Lex sits at the center of this 2016 survey, where the drainages of Brushy Fork and Rich Fork converge. The landscape reflects the transition from the southern outskirts of Winston-Salem in Forsyth County into the rolling countryside of Davidson County. Small, established communities like Midway, Gum Tree, and Wallburg are connected by a network of winding roads such as Hebron Church Rd and Gumtree Rd, which contrast with the modern corridor of Old US Hwy 52. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Bethany Cem and the clusters of homes at Bethesda, Welcome, and Pilot. The map also captures numerous smaller waterways that defined local property lines and land use for generations, including Oil Mill Br, Tinkers Cr, and Buck Br.
