About this map

Lake Wassookeag dominates this landscape, serving as the central hub around which the town of Dexter is established. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the E Br Sebasticook River, where industrial history is evidenced by Spooners Mill downstream. The township is characterized by several outlying historical nodes, including Jackman Corner, North Dexter, and Gilman Corner, each once serving as localized community centers for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists can trace a high density of burial grounds distributed across the terrain, from Mt Pleasant Cem near the town center to the smaller Storer Cem, Bailey Cem, and Frenchs Mills Cem found at rural crossroads. The county boundaries of Somerset, Piscataquis, and Penobscot converge in the western and northern portions of the map, illustrating the intersection of regional jurisdictions amid the hills of Bean Hill and Chandler Hill.
