About this map

South Salem and the surrounding agricultural valleys of Ross Co and Highland Co are defined by the winding course of Buckskin Creek. This early 21st-century landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of family-named cemeteries and established farmsteads, including Barton Farms, Blueberry Hill Farm, and Shoemaker Farm. The settlement pattern follows the local topography, with communities like Lyndon and Thrifton positioned near major transit routes such as Oh-28.

Significant terrain features such as Roundtop, Pricer Ridge, and Edginton Hill rise above the drainage basins of Upper Twin Creek and Lower Twin Creek. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local burial grounds, preserving the locations of the Old Stone Cemetery, Nuckols Cemetery, and Hymiller Cemetery. In the south, the terrain descends toward the waters of Paint Creek Lake near Bald Knob.
