About this map

Winston-Salem serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, illustrating the dense urban and suburban development of eastern Forsyth County. Neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, East Winston, and Sunnyside show a tightly knit residential grid, while the presence of the Smith Reynolds Airport and Piedmont Quarry highlights the area's industrial and infrastructure hubs. The landscape is marked by numerous historic resting places, including Evergreen Cem and Bellevue Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in these established communities.

Water and recreational corridors define the city's periphery, with the Salem Lake Trail circling the large Salem Lake reservoir. Moving eastward toward Kernersville, the terrain transitions to a series of ridges such as Thornaby Ridge and Hartley Ridge. The survey also tracks the drainage patterns of S Fork Muddy Cr and its tributaries as they cross the southern border into Davidson County, illustrating the connection between the urban center and its outlying rural developments like Wallburg.
