2019 Map of New Salem

About this map

New Salem sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by a network of springs and small creek branches that feed the major waterways of Rusk and Cherokee counties. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Quinn Mtn and the substantial waters of Lake Striker to the west. This modern topographic record captures the rural character of the region, where numerous family cemeteries like Wiggins Cem and Garrett Cem are preserved among the winding county roads. To the south, the settlement of Reklaw borders the Angelina River as it meanders through a low-lying basin of wetlands, including Devereaux Lake and Buckner Lake. The presence of scattered landmarks such as Cool Springs and Weatherford Spring indicates a landscape historically reliant on these reliable water sources, while the eastern edge is marked by the small community of Anadarko near the banks of Anadarko Cr.
