2018 Map of New Salem

About this map

Pittsfield serves as a primary hub in this portion of Pike County, where the landscape transitions from the residential streets of the city to the fertile agricultural plains. The area is defined by a dense network of township and county roads, such as Baylis Rd and Co Hwy 2, which connect the smaller settlements of New Salem and Maysville. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Gray Cem and Simpkins-Brown Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The topography is shaped by several watercourses like Blue Cr and Panther Cr, which drain into the larger basin near Lake Pittsfield. To the southeast, the Pittsfield Penstone Municipal Airport stands as a modern landmark, contrasting with the longstanding rural character of the surrounding townships.
