About this map

Winston-Salem anchors the northwestern quadrant of this map, revealing the dense urban development of neighborhoods like East Winston and Columbia Heights as they transition into the surrounding North Carolina countryside. Educational and civic infrastructure is a dominant theme, marked by the campuses of Salem College and Winston-Salem University, alongside athletic landmarks like Bowman Gray Stadium. The map provides a look at the city's growth along the Norfolk And Western railroad and major modern thoroughfares like Interchange 193.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain shifts toward a more industrial and rural character. The Piedmont Quarry and Filtration Plant near Salem Lake indicate the city's utility needs, while scattered communities such as Waughtown, Wallburg, and Walkertown reflect older settlement patterns. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including the Old Mt Vernon Ch and Odd Fellows Cem, set against the drainage systems of Muddy Creek and Brushy Fork.
