About this map

Smith Reynolds Airport and the expanding northern reaches of Winnston-Salem anchor this mid-century portrait of Forsyth County. The landscape is a mix of urban growth and rural heritage, where small communities like Walkertown and Brookwood are connected by the Norfolk And Western railroad and the Southern line. Significant institutional landmarks are scattered across the terrain, including the Memorial Industrial Sch and several local campuses like Oak Summit Sch and Carver Sch.

Rural life is evidenced by the density of community churches such as Providence Ch and Shiloh Ch, and family-named cemeteries including Banner Cem and Beck Cem. Water features define the drainage patterns of the Middle Fork and Salem Chapel townships, with the Middle Fork Muddy Creek and numerous private ponds like Lake Woosnicke and Waggoner Lake dotting the hills. The presence of Camp Civitan and Camp Betty Hastings further highlights the area's role in regional recreation during this era.
