About this map

Westfield sits along the northern edge of this Piedmont landscape, which is defined by the rural boundary between Surry Co and Stokes Co. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Big Creek and Meadow Branch, while the prominent landmark of Sauratown Mtn rises to the southeast. The settlement of Pilot Mountain anchors the southwestern corner, featuring civic infrastructure like the East Surry High Sch and the Pilot Mountain Filtration Plant.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds and places of worship such as Westfield Ch and Brims Grove Ch. Genealogists will find many family-named sites, from the Simmons Cem and Beasley Cem to the Inman Cem. Industrial and recreational markers also dot the map, including a Mica Pit and Quarry, a Fish Hatchery, and a Drive-in Theater, reflecting the diverse land use in this part of North Carolina during the late twentieth century.
