2016 Map of Salem

About this map

Salem serves as the focal point of this Washington County landscape, situated where White Cr meets the drainage of Buttermilk Falls Brook. The village layout is preserved alongside significant local heritage sites, including the Revolutionary War Cem and Evergreen Cem. To the south, the settlement of Rexleigh is home to the notable Rexleigh Bridge, while Greenwich Junction indicates the historical importance of rail connectivity in this corridor. The topography is defined by the transition from the valley floor to the prominent heights of Hebron Mtn in the northwest and the Green Mountain National Forest along the Vermont border to the east. Valleys like Perkins Hollow and Camden Valley cut through the high ground, while numerous family-named cemeteries such as Cleveland Cem and Parish Cem offer valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the rural settlement patterns of the New York-Vermont state line.
