About this map

The Forsyth Co Davidson Co line bisects this 1960s landscape, revealing a transition from agricultural roots to growing residential nodes south of Winston-Salem. The settlement of Midway serves as a central hub, flanked by older community landmarks such as Hebron Ch and Saints Delite Ch. To the south, the recently constructed Tom-A-Lex Lake has altered the drainage of Abbotts Creek, introducing new recreational space at the Picnic Area near the Davidson county interior.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is well-defined by the Winston-Salem Southbound and Southern railroads, which parallel the main thoroughfares. Educational development is visible through the North Davidson High Sch and nearby Jr High Sch. Numerous named waterways, including Little Brushy Fork and Leonard Creek, weave through the terrain, punctuated by family-named churches like Gates Ch and Brooks Temple, reflecting the area's deep-seated local genealogy and community structure during this era.
