About this map

Alfred serves as the focal point of this York County landscape, where the York County Superior Court and the Parish Congregational Church Cem anchor the historic town center. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Mousam River and its various tributaries like the Littlefield River, which historically supported local industry at sites like Alfred Mills and Spang Mills. To the south, the expansion of Sanford is evident, characterized by the Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport and more dense residential road networks.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family burial grounds scattered throughout the rural outskirts, including the Linscott Family Cem, Nutter Family Cem, and the Jeremiah Drown Lot. These small plots, alongside larger sites like Evergreen Cem, provide a fine-grained look at the early family footprints in this part of Maine. The terrain transitions from the wetland-heavy area of The Plains to distinct local elevations such as Brackett Hill and Yeaton Hill.
