2011 Map of Danforth

About this map

Danforth serves as the primary hub in this Maine landscape, where the Danforth Post Office and local civic institutions like the Grand Lake Grange anchor the community's activity. The area's geography is defined by a vast water network, including the expansive Grand Lake and Brackett Lake, which are connected by a series of points and coves such as Mattigan Point and Dark Cove. The movement of water is managed at the Crooked Brook Dam, while Baskahegan Stream and Sandy Brook drain the surrounding woodlands. Genealogists and local researchers will find the Danforth Cemetery and Butterfield Cemetery clearly marked near the primary settlements. The presence of Butterfield Landing and the Two Mile Curve along the roadway suggests a region long shaped by its proximity to the lakeshore and the practical requirements of transporting goods and people through the timber-rich Maine interior.
