1981 Map of Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Salem serves as a primary hub on this early 1980s survey, surrounded by smaller rural communities across the Henry Co Lee Co line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River in the northeast and the drainage patterns of Sugar Creek and Fish Creek. Evidence of former transportation networks remains visible in the Old Railroad Grade that passes through Houghton and Mertensville, reflecting the evolution of rural transit in southeast Iowa.
