1950 Map of Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Salem sits at the heart of this North Arkansas landscape, serving as a hub for the scattered farming and timber communities of Fulton County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the South Fork Spring River and the Strawberry River, which carve through a series of prominent ridges and knobs like Turkey Knob and Wallace Knob. This mid-century survey documents a network of rural schoolhouses and country churches that anchored local life before widespread consolidation, including the Stateline Sch near the Missouri border and the Wesley Chapel to the south. Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as the Cook Cem and Liberty Hill Cem, which dot the hillsides along small waterways like Greasy Creek and Wildcat Creek.
