2021 Map of New Salem

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Pike County unfolds between the upper reaches of S Fork McKee Cr and the northern edge of Pittsfield. This region is defined by its small crossroads settlements, notably New Salem and Maysville, which serve as anchors for a grid of rural routes like Baylis Rd and Maysville Rd. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the Hinman Cem, Swiggett Cem, and the compound-named Moore - Enderly - Yackley Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the modernization of the area with the Pittsfield Penstone Municipal Airport and the recreational waters of Lake Pittsfield. Tributaries such as Blue Cr and Panther Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped local farm boundaries and road placements.
