Salem and its surrounding mountain communities sit at the edge of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, where the high waters of Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee meet the foothills. This landscape is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by numerous small country churches and their associated burial grounds, such as the Salem United Methodist Church Cem and the McKinney Chapel Cem. The topography is a complex network of ridges like Lydia Mtn and Smeltzer Mtn, divided by river systems including the Whitewater River and Keowee River.
