1944 Map of Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Salem serves as the central hub of this 1944 survey, situated where the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks meet the winding path of White Creek. This landscape along the New York-Vermont border is defined by a dense network of upland drainage, including Beaver Brook and Buttermilk Falls Brook, which carve through the high ground of Hebron Mtn and Wheeler Hill. The map captures the agricultural and early industrial infrastructure of Washington County, tracing the rail line as it passes Greenwich Junc and the southern settlement of Rexleigh. Researchers will find significant genealogical data in the locations of Evergreen Cem, Catholic Cem, and Parish Cem, while the course of the Batten Kill provides a clear view of the water power and transport corridors that shaped this borderland economy before mid-century modernization.
