2013 Map of Salem

About this map

Salem anchors this corner of Northeast Ohio where residential grids meet a landscape of orchards and historical burial grounds. The transition from industrial corridors to agricultural use is marked by several large operations, including the White House Fruit Farm, Huffman Fruit Farm, and Norkus Orchard. These agricultural centers are interspersed with small, unincorporated settlements such as New Albany, Greenford, and Washingtonville. The terrain is drained by the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek and Cherry Valley Run, providing a topographic framework for the numerous cemeteries that dot the region. Genealogists will find a concentration of local history at sites like Grandview Cem, Hope Cem, and the Dutch Ridge Cem. To the north, the Salem Airpark Inc and smaller water bodies like Western Reserve Lake define the character of the suburban-rural fringe.
