2010 Map of Walnut Cove

About this map

Walnut Cove and Germanton anchor this 2010 survey of central Stokes County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Town Fork Creek and its many tributaries. The map documents a rural transition zone where traditional crossroads settlements like Ross Store, Rosebud, and Brook Cove persist alongside modern watershed management. A series of water control structures, including Town Fork Creek Watershed Dam Number Fifteen and Fox Pond Dam, dot the drainage basins of Mills Creek and Voss Creek. Genealogists will find interest in localized sites such as the Fulp Cemetery near Fulp and the Town Fork Settlement. The topography rises toward Piney Mountain in the center, while the eastern edge is clipped by the Dan River, showing a region balancing its agricultural roots with active environmental engineering projects.
