2021 Map of Bethel

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves a broad valley through this mountain landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements including Newry, Middle Intervale, and Bethel. This corridor has long served as a vital transit route, evidenced by the cluster of burial grounds like Grafton Cem and Sunday River Cem that mark early family homesteads. To the west, the slopes of Barker Mtn and Locke Mtn rise sharply, while the river's meandering path creates landforms like Bond Island and Hastings Island. The area around Mayville shows a transition toward modern infrastructure with the Bethel Regional Airport, yet the landscape remains defined by the numerous brooks—such as Sunday River and Bear River—that drain the surrounding peaks into the main valley. Genealogists can find several smaller community landmarks, including Skillingston Cem near West Bethel and Woodland Cem to the south.
