2024 Map of Buckfield

About this map

The Nezinscot River and its West Branch carve through this landscape at the intersection of Oxford and Androscoggin counties. Centered on the village of Buckfield, the topography is defined by significant rises such as Bear Mtn and Hayford Hill, which overlook a network of smaller water bodies including Little Bear Pond and Crystal Pond. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by numerous burial sites like the Harlow Family Cem and Chase Family Cem. Small hamlets such as East Buckfield and Chase Mills mark the crossroads of old transit routes, including the Railroad Bed Rd, while the presence of Oxford Spring hints at the area's natural hydrology. This 2024 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of central Maine, where isolated hills like Deacon Pinnacle stand above complex wetlands like Jersey Bog.
