2019 Map of South Salem

About this map

Buckskin Creek and its many tributaries, including Lower Twin Cr and Slate Run, carve through the complex terrain of the Ross and Highland County border. This area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Satchel Cem, Nuckols Cem, and the Old Stone Cem near Greenfield. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors and higher ridges, with small hubs like South Salem and Lyndon established along the primary road networks. The southern reaches of the map are defined by prominent elevations like Bald Knob and Pricer Ridge, while the landscape is dotted with smaller locales such as Humboldt and Fruitdale. These features illustrate a rural community where historical property lines and local geography are deeply intertwined with the drainage patterns of the North Fork Buckskin Creek.
