1964 Map of Brownfield

About this map

The Saco River and the Maine Central Railroad anchor this 1964 survey of southern Oxford County, showing the intersection of river transport and rail infrastructure. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valley floor, with Brownfield and its satellite communities of East Brownfield and West Brownfield serving as local hubs. The landscape is dotted with small, family-named burial grounds like Merrill Cem and Wentworth Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Burnt Meadow Mountains, including Stone Mtn and Sugarloaf. To the north, the terrain transitions to lower-lying wetlands and ponds near Lovewell Pond, where the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport indicates the modernizing infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
