2016 Map of Saline City

About this map

Saline City sits at the junction of Birch Creek and Crooked Cr in this contemporary record of Clay County's water-rich landscape. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the Eel River which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Significant wetland and overflow features like Little Slough, Big Slough, and Splunge Creek illustrate the low-lying character of the land, once home to substantial marshlands. Evidence of the region's agricultural and rural history remains through family-named landmarks such as Stagg Cem, Zion Gummere Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. The map preserves the location of Old Hill and the river crossing at Neal Mill Bridge, while also noting more modern developments like the Turner Farms Airport. For those tracing the evolution of local infrastructure, the alignment of W Towpath Rd suggests the historical path of bygone transportation routes along the river corridor.
