About this map

The Yadkin River defines the southwestern edge of this North Carolina landscape, where the rural communities of Welcome, Arcadia, and Currytown are linked by a dense network of country roads. Small family and community cemeteries like Good Hope Cem and Beulah Cem are scattered across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research in Davidson and Forsyth Counties.

A complex drainage system of creeks, including Muddy Creek, Reedy Cr, and Swearing Cr, carves through the rolling countryside between the growing outskirts of Winston-Salem and the smaller settlements of Enterprise and Arnold. This survey illustrates the modern road development and residential growth that has occurred since the mid-20th century, while still preserving the names and locations of established rural centers.
