About this map

Cumberland Center and the surrounding villages of West Cumberland, South Gray, and North Falmouth reveal a landscape defined by traditional family landholdings and small-scale agriculture. This corner of Maine is densely mapped with lineage-based landmarks, including the Goudreau Family Burying Ground, Leighton Family Cem, and Huston Family Cem. The terrain rises from the shores of Highland Lake and Forest Lake toward prominent heights such as Blackstrap Hill and Atherton Hill, while the Piscataqua River and Mill Brook provide the primary drainage for the undulating interior.

Transportation corridors like Interstate 95 and the railroad near Cumberland Center Station serve as modern arteries through a region still anchored by its rural roots. Long-standing community centers are identified by the West Cumberland Church, Congregational Church, and smaller crossroads like Ireland Corner and Scotland. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of small family cemeteries and localized place-names amidst the growing suburban reach of the Portland area.
