About this map

Winston-Salem and its eastern suburbs are shown in high detail during this mid-2010s survey, revealing a dense urban and educational landscape. Large institutional footprints such as Winston-Salem State Univ and Salem Coll define the central city core, while Smith Reynolds Airport occupies the northern section near Park Terrace. The map captures the industrial character of the area through the Piedmont Quarry and the Norfolk Southern rail lines that thread through neighborhoods like Sunnyside and Columbia Heights.

Beyond the city grid, the terrain transitions into the Piedmont’s characteristic drainage patterns, with Salem Lake and Winston Lake serving as major water features. The boundary between Forsyth Co and Davidson Co is clearly marked to the south near Wallburg, highlighting the suburban spread toward Kernersville and Walkertown. Numerous historic burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Bellevue Cem, are preserved amidst the residential expansion of Easton View and Union Ridge.
