About this map

The Little Yadkin River and its various prongs carve through this Piedmont landscape where the borders of Surry, Stokes, Forsyth, and Yadkin counties converge. This 2019 survey captures the transition from the rising slopes of Sauratown Mtn and Pilot Mtn in the north down to the Yadkin River and Fishing Island at the southwestern corner. The settlement pattern follows a clear corridor between Pilot Mountain and King, with Pinnacle and Dalton serving as central nodes along the primary road and former rail route.

Local history is preserved in the naming of rural roads and water bodies, such as Horne Cr and Danbury Cr, which reflect long-standing land divisions. The presence of Lilly Lake and the Little Yadkin Watershed Lake Six illustrates modern water management within this traditional agricultural and residential region. From the residential clusters at Volunteer and Chestnut Grove to the outskirts of Tobaccoville, the map provides a precise view of modern land use in a geography defined by its granite peaks and river valleys.
