1955 Map of Winston-Salem

About this map

Winston-Salem serves as the urban anchor for this mid-century survey of the Central Blue Ridge, where the Piedmont's rolling industry meets the high country of North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. The Yadkin River and Dan River drain the eastern slopes, while the New River carves through the ancient plateaus to the north. This era marks the prominence of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail as they trace the crests near Mount Rogers and White Top Mountain.
