About this map

The Yadkin River serves as the prominent divider for these northwest North Carolina borderlands, separating Yadkin and Surry counties from Forsyth. This late 1960s landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and numerous rural congregations, such as Union Hill Ch and New Bethel Cem Ch. The winding course of the river is followed by the Southern railroad line, which passes through the community of Donnaha.

Modern leisure and local landmarks of the era are visible near East Bend, where a Drive-in Theater and Drag Strip stand along the highway. Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through specific cemetery sites like the Pleasant Hill Ch Cem and Brookstown-Zion Ch Cem. The transition from old rural ways to modern development is evident in the presence of both the Old Richmond Sch and the Vienna Sch, highlighting the educational infrastructure of the period.
