2016 Map of Walnut Cove

About this map

Walnut Cove serves as the central hub of this Stokes County landscape, situated at a bend in Town Fork Creek where the Norfolk Southern rail line passes through the settlement. To the southwest, the village of Germanton sits along the county line, while the northern terrain is defined by the elevation of Piney Mtn and the waters of the Dan River in the northeast corner. This modern survey reflects a region managed through local water resources, evidenced by several watershed reservoirs including Town Fork Cr Watershed Lake Fifteen and Town Fork Creek Watershed Lake Thirteen. Smaller rural communities like Brook Cove, Rosebud, and Baileytown are connected by a network of family-named roads such as Gene Martin Rd and Jimmie Bullins Rd, while the Fulp Cem provides a specific point of interest for those researching local lineage.
