2011 Map of Salem

About this map

Salem serves as the central hub of this Washington County survey, where the waters of White Creek and Blind Buck Stream converge. The village’s deep historical roots are evidenced by the presence of the Revolutionary War Cemetery, alongside other local burial grounds like Evergreen Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery. The landscape is defined by its numerous hollows and ridges, such as Perkins Hollow and Hogback Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Beattie Hollow Rd and Chamberlin Mills Rd. To the south, the settlement of Rexleigh is marked by the Rexleigh Bridge spanning the Batten Kill. Further north, the terrain rises toward Hebron Mountain near the community of West Hebron, while Greenwich Junction indicates a point of transit at the western edge of the quadrangle. The map documents a classic New York landscape of valley settlements and upland ridges that have shaped the region's agricultural and social patterns for generations.
