1929 Map of Dixfield

About this map

Lake Webb dominates the northern landscape of this interior Maine region, where the town of Weld sits at the base of Center Hill. The terrain is defined by its plantation divisions and the transition from mountain ridges to the river valley in the south. The Androscoggin River serves as a vital corridor along the southern border, accompanied by the Maine Central Railroad and State Highway No 108, which connect the settlements of Dixfield and West Peru. Local industry and rural infrastructure are visible in landmarks like Hildreths Mill and a dense network of district schools, including Knowles Sch and Science Hill Sch. This survey provides a look at the area before the modernization of transport, showing numerous local crossings and named high points like Mt Blue and Crockett Mtn that shaped the settlement patterns of Perkins Plantation and Washington Plantation.
