1976 Map of Salem NE

About this map

South Fork Spring River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Arkansas and Missouri, defining the topography of this rural landscape. This 1976 orthophotograph, derived from high-altitude aerial imagery, reveals the complex agricultural patterns and woodlots of Fulton County. The settlement of Moko is visible in the north, while the northern edge of Salem anchors the southern boundary. Unlike a traditional line-drawn map, this aerial perspective captures the exact texture of the land, from the density of the riverbank vegetation to the precise layout of farmsteads and rural roads during the mid-1970s. It provides a unique visual record of land use and property boundaries in a region defined by its waterway and high-relief terrain.
