2022 Map of New Salem

About this map

New Salem and Glenwood anchor this corner of southeastern Indiana, where the rural landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Little Flatrock River and Sanes Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous historical burying grounds such as Old Friends Church Cem, Heaton Cem, and the Old Brick Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of Old Friends Church reflects the region's Quaker heritage, while small settlements like Orange and Farmington mark traditional crossroads. The terrain transitions toward more dissected drainage patterns near the Fayette and Franklin County lines, visible where Little Salt Cr and the S Br Garrison Cr have carved the land. Modern utility is represented by McMinn Airport and the Woodland Retreat Lake, which sit alongside a dense network of county roads like E Orange Pike that follow the original section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
