2024 Map of Salem North

About this map

Salem anchors the southern edge of this Illinois landscape, serving as the seat of local government and a center for regional travel. The Marion County Courthouse and Bryan Memorial Park mark the town's civic heart, while the Salem-Leckrone Airport and a network of county roads like Oak Grove Rd and Tonti Rd facilitate movement across the prairie. The map details a landscape defined by small settlements and family burial grounds that tell the story of rural development, including Alma, Tonti, and Brubaker. Water features such as the Rochester-Goodell Reservoir and the winding course of Crooked Creek provide geographic markers throughout the quadrangle. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of community cemeteries, from East Lawn Cem near town to the more remote Wilson Cem and Hartlin Cem.
