2015 Map of Baxter Lake

About this map

Blue Job Mtn and a series of prominent peaks including Hussey Mtn and Chesley Mtn define the western uplands of this Strafford County landscape. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural-residential network structured around historical junctions like Strafford Corner, Berrys Corner, and Meaderboro Corner. The drainage pattern is complex, with the Berrys River feeding the Berrys River Reservoir and Ayers Pond in the south, while the Cocheco River clips the northeastern corner near Place. Water resources are a central theme of the topography, evidenced by the Rochester Reservoir and the sizable Baxter Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate small family burying grounds such as Kimball Cem near the lake or Johnson Cem further west. The map also traces established thoroughfares like Ten Rod RD and Farmington RD, which connect these small communities to the larger hub of Rochester in the southeast.
