1980 Map of Salina

About this map

Salina and Germanville anchor this rural Jefferson County landscape, where the pattern of small-town settlement is deeply tied to the local watercourses and early ecclesiastical history. The map highlights a significant religious and cultural heritage, particularly evident in the cluster of institutions such as the New Sweden Lutheran Ch, New Sweden Baptist Ch, and New Sweden Cem. These landmarks, along with family and community sites like Polishville Cem and Lower Richwoods Cem, provide a precise record of the area's 19th-century immigrant roots. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor passing through Beckwith, while the drainage of Walnut Creek and Brush Creek dictates the topography of the surrounding farmland and several active Quarry sites.
