2013 Map of Saline City

About this map

Saline City sits at the northeastern corner of this Clay County landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and river systems. The Eel River snakes through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by low-lying features such as Hickory Island and Old Hill. The prevalence of named drainage channels like Conneley Ditch and Lafferty Ditch, alongside natural waterways like Big Slough and Birch Cr, illustrates a century-long effort to manage the wet bottomlands for cultivation. A notable landmark in the southern reaches is the Neal Mill Bridge, carrying local traffic over the river. The presence of W Towpath Rd following the river's curve provides a trace of the historical transportation corridors that once moved goods through this river valley.
