2018 Map of Salem South

About this map

Salem sits at the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, which transitions from the organized streets of the town into a network of agricultural lands and creek bottoms. The area is defined by the drainage basins of several waterways, including the winding path of Crooked Cr and the waters of Lake Centralia to the west. Small settlements like Selmaville and Cartter serve as local landmarks within the rural grid, which is still marked by numerous family and community burial grounds that point to the long-standing settlement history of Marion County.
