About this map

Town Fork Creek flows eastward through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring the historical development of Walnut Cove and Germanton. This 2019 survey documents the rural character and small-town structure of southeast Stokes County, where the topography transitions from the banks of the Dan River to the heights of Piney Mtn. The map reveals a network of unincorporated communities and local gathering points, including Ross Store, Rosebud, and Brook Cove.

Regional history is evident in the preservation of family-named landmarks and historical burial sites like Fulp Cem. The area near the junction of Town Fork Creek and Lick Cr shows the modern footprint of community spaces like Meadow Brook Field and Dusenbury Field. From the northern reaches near Meadows to the southern border with Forsyth County, the map provides a contemporary record of land use, including the Town Fork Cr Watershed Lake Fourteen.
