About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape of Forsyth and Davidson Counties is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the significant reservoir of Tom-A-Lex Lake. In the mid-1960s, this area north of Lexington was characterized by dispersed rural settlements and a strong presence of local congregations, including Brooks Temple, Faith Alliance Ch, and Old Saviours Ch. The settlement of Midway serves as a central point, anchored by the Midway Ch and nearby Hebron Cem.

A complex drainage system of creeks such as Abbotts Creek, Brushy Fork, and Rich Fork carves through the terrain, illustrating the historical importance of water resources to the region's development. Infrastructure like the Lookout Tower and Water Tank near the Forsyth county line indicates the transition toward more organized local utility management. Local educators and families will note the presence of the High Sch and Jr High Sch located just south of the county border.
