1962 Map of Southmont

About this map

High Rock Lake dominates this landscape along the Davidson and Rowan county line, where the impounded Yadkin River creates a complex network of fingers and inlets. The drowning of old river crossings is evident near Trading Ford, a historically significant point on the river where Trading Ford Church and several small road networks converge. On the eastern shore, the Winston-Salem Southbound railway serves the community of Southmont, while the Southern railroad line skirts the northern edge of the reservoir near Linwood.
