2014 Map of Brownfield

About this map

The Saco River meanders across the eastern border of this region where Maine and New Hampshire meet, defining a landscape of low-lying floodplains and significant peaks. Near the settlement of Brownfield, the terrain rises sharply toward Frost Mountain and Peary Mountain, while the northern reach is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lovewell Pond. The distribution of small burying grounds like Walker Rounds Cem and Merrill Cem near the various ‘corners’ and small villages suggests a long-established rural community structure that persisted into the early 21st century. Regional transportation centers on the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport and the network of local roads like the Pequawket Trl that link Merrill Corner to the smaller hamlets of West Brownfield and New Boston.
