1984 Map of Winston-Salem

About this map

The Yadkin River defines the heart of this North Carolina Piedmont landscape, winding between the Blue Ridge and the Brushy Mountains. By the mid-1980s, the urban footprint of Winston-Salem had expanded significantly, stretching toward Kernersville and Walkertown. The map illustrates the industrial and transportation corridors of the era, anchored by the Southern Railway and the Norfolk and Western Railway lines that linked rural agricultural centers like Yadkinville, Dobson, and Mount Airy to the larger city.
