2019 Map of Salem

About this map

Salem sits at the heart of this Washington County landscape, where the W Fork Blue River and Hoggatt Br define the local drainage patterns. The area is dense with family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of burial grounds including the Hicksite Church Cem and the geographically significant Old Blue River Cem and New Old Blue River Cem. These sites, along with the Blue River Mound, suggest a long-standing pattern of settlement and reverence for the land bordering the river forks.
