About this map

Androscoggin River and its numerous tributaries, including the Sunday River and Bear River, dominate this modern topography of Oxford County. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Mt Will, Barker Mtn, and Locke Mtn, which define the narrow valleys where local settlements have taken root. The village of Bethel serves as a central hub, connected by the St Lawrence & Atlantic RR and the Bethel Regional Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township, from the Grafton Cem in the north near Newry to the West Bethel Cem and Woodland Cem in the south. The map documents the persistent agricultural and residential patterns in hamlets like Middle Intervale and North Bethel, while the presence of Viking Village and varied access roads such as Sunday River Rd illustrate the area's continued development as a gateway to the Maine mountains.
