About this map

Salona sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape in Montague County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages and named valleys. The land is carved by the winding paths of Denton Cr, Stillhouse Cr, and Wells Br, creating a topography of ridges and hollows such as Pole Hollow. This area reflects a quiet rural character, with scattered homesteads connected by a grid of county roads like Perkins Rd and Tage Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the quadrant, including Denver Cem, Mitchell Cem, Mallard Cem, and Jackson Cem. The northeastern corner is marked by Jim Ned Lookout, a high point overlooking the headwaters of Mallard Cr and Steelmon Br. The map also traces the distinct corridors of Dry Valley and Jones Valley, illustrating how the local geography influenced the placement of early routes like Dry Valley Rd and the Salona Hwy.
