1951 Map of Winston-Salem East

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Winston-Salem expands eastward in the early 1950s, revealing a landscape defined by institutional growth and the transition from urban industry to rural township. The map details the educational foundations of the area, featuring Salem College, the State Teachers College, and Atkins High Sch. To the east, Salem Lake serves as a significant reservoir, while the Winston-Salem Southbound and Southern railroads facilitate the movement of goods through the Winston Township. Grounded insights include the early footprint of the Smith-Reynolds Airport and the concentration of neighborhood centers like Columbia Heights and Sunnyside near the Middle Fork Muddy Creek. Beyond the city limits, the terrain shifts into the Broadbay and Abbotts Creek districts, where rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and local congregations such as Friedland Ch and New Friendship Ch.
