1965 Map of Salem
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Salem serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the North Fork and South Fork converge to form the Big Nemaha River. The landscape is defined by the sinuous path of the river and its Old Channel, reflecting a valley shaped by significant hydrological activity. To the north, Straussville sits along the Pacific railroad line near Muddy Creek, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks cut across the northwestern quadrant through Salem. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like St Marks Ch, Maple Cem, and rural education centers such as Five Point Sch. The presence of several quarries and gravel pits near the river forks indicates the importance of local material extraction during this period.
