2024 Map of Dexter

About this map

Lake Wassookeag serves as the centerpiece of this central Maine landscape, where the town of Dexter sits at the southern outlet. The area's industrial past is anchored by Spooners Mill along the East Branch Sebasticook River, while the northern portion of the map transitions into a complex network of wetlands including Brown Bog, Lougee Bog, and Grey Bog. This 2024 survey captures a high density of burial sites for a single quadrangle, documenting Mount Pleasant Cem, Greene Cem, Elmwood Cem, and several others that serve as critical markers for local genealogy. Between the elevations of Bean Hill and Hersey Hill, the map traces the intersection of three counties—Piscataquis, Somerset, and Penobscot—illustrating how local roads like Silver Mills Rd and Cambridge Rd connect these outlying rural settlements to the primary hub at North Dexter.
