2010 Map of New Salem

About this map

Searights and the nearby Old Toll House anchor a landscape defined by the deep-rooted mining and industrial settlements of Fayette County. This 2010 survey illustrates the dense network of coal-patch towns like Tower Hill Number One, Buffington, and Keisterville that grew around the region's historic extraction operations. The terrain is carved by the Dunlap Creek watershed, where industrial remnants like the Allison Dam and Royal Reservoir Dam appear alongside more modern recreational additions including the Colonial Golf Course. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several family and community burial grounds, such as Tomasza Cemetery and Saint Peters Cemetery, situated among the winding country roads like Bukovit Farm Rd and Sunshine Hollow Rd.
