1951 Map of Rural Hall

About this map

The Moravian heritage of the Piedmont is visible across this landscape, which centers on the historic settlement of Bethania and the surrounding agricultural tracts of Forsyth County. Established in the mid-18th century, the town's distinct layout is documented alongside Bethabara and Oldtown, revealing a centuries-old pattern of communal land use and development. To the south, the northern reaches of Winston-Salem begin to expand toward Reynolda and Alspaugh, while the northern half of the sheet remains dominated by smaller communities like Rural Hall and Tobaccoville.
