2018 Map of Alfred

About this map

Alfred and Sanford anchor this detailed study of York County's interior, where the Middle Branch Mousam River and Littlefield River converge. The landscape is defined by its transition from the built environments of South Sanford to the wooded hills of Yeaton Hill and Brackett Hill. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several small burial grounds, including the Fletcher Graveyard and Nutter Family Cem, alongside the more central Evergreen Cem. The area's industrial history is marked by established nodes like Alfred Mills and Spang Mills, while its modern transit role is highlighted by the Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport near Lion Hill. This map reveals a complex drainage network that includes Perkins Marsh Brook and Cold Water Brook, illustrating how the waterway system shaped early settlement patterns before modern infrastructure took hold.
