1926 Map of Dixfield

About this map

The Androscoggin River carves through the southern landscape of this 1926 survey, where the Maine Central railroad follows the riverbank past Dixfield and West Peru. To the north, Lake Webb dominates the terrain, surrounded by the high ridges of Weld and the small settlement at Weld Corner. This region is defined by a dense network of rural schoolhouses and family-named summits, illustrating a distributed settlement pattern common in the early twentieth century. Schools like Science Hill Sch and Maple Grove Sch are tucked away near timbered slopes and brook-fed meadows. The presence of Holt Mill and the expansive Siberia Meadows suggests a landscape tied to seasonal timber and agricultural production, while prominent landmarks like Whittemore Bluff and Lovejoy Mtn provide fixed reference points for this high-elevation Franklin County terrain.
