Salem Map Art

Salem's grid spreads between the Willamette River to the west and the foothills rising eastward, with the river's meandering course defining the city's western edge. Commercial Street runs north-south as the downtown spine, bisected by State Street, while the Capitol building anchors the civic core just south of downtown. Highway 22 cuts across the southern edge, and residential blocks fan outward in a regular pattern interrupted only by parks along the Willamette's banks.
