About this map

North Salem sits as the primary settlement in this corner of rural Indiana, where the terrain is carved by the winding course of Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and county lines, marking the intersection of Hendricks, Putnam, and Montgomery counties. Small agricultural communities such as Barnard, New Maysville, and Groveland anchor the surrounding townships, connected by a grid of rural lanes like E State Rd 236.

For those tracing family roots, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the North Salem Baptist Cem and New Winchester Baptist Cem, alongside numerous family or small community plots like Abner Ragan Cem and Ryner Cem. The presence of the Way West Airport and the CSX Transportation rail line highlights the region's enduring transportation corridors amidst a landscape of named ridges like Red Tailed Ridge and quiet streams like Monnehals Fork.
