1950 Map of Winston-Salem East

About this map

Winston Salem and its growing suburbs are captured during a period of significant mid-century expansion, with industrial and institutional landmarks anchoring the urban core. The historic campus of Salem College and the sprawling Bowman Gray Stadium serve as focal points for the community, while the Southern railroad line facilitates the movement of goods through East Winston and Waughtown. To the east, the landscape transitions from residential developments like Columbia Heights to more rural stretches defined by Salem Lake and active sites like the Piedmont Quarry.
