About this map

The Little Yadkin River and its numerous tributaries, including Grassy Cr and the W Prong Little Yadkin River, carve a complex drainage pattern across this landscape where Surry, Stokes, Yadkin, and Forsyth counties meet. The prominent landmark Pilot Mountain anchors the northwest, while Sauratown Mtn rises to the northeast, framing a region defined by scattered rural settlements and a dense network of family-named roads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds documented here, such as Friends Union Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. The settlement at Pinnacle sits centrally along the corridor between Pilot Mountain and the growing area near King, while to the south, the community of Tobaccoville and landmarks like Fishing Island on the Yadkin River mark the transition toward the Forsyth County line.
