2013 Map of Salem

About this map

The town of Salem serves as the focal point of this survey, where the local rail history is marked by Greenwich Junction and several prominent cemeteries that anchor the community's genealogy. Of particular interest is the Revolutionary War Cem, situated near the town center alongside Evergreen Cem. The landscape to the east rises into the Taconic foothills, defined by distinct topographical features like Hogback Ridge and Blind Buck Hollow. To the south, the settlement of Rexleigh sits near the Batten Kill, while the northern reaches include MacClan Farms and the waters of Scott Lake. This map captures the intricate drainage patterns of White Cr, Beaver Brook, and Buttermilk Falls Brook as they carve through the valleys of Washington County, reflecting a landscape still deeply defined by its colonial-era foundations and agricultural heritage.
