1956 Map of Dixfield

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Lake Webb dominates the northern landscape of this western Maine region, where the steep slopes of Mt Blue and Spruce Mountain rise abruptly from the water's edge. This mid-century survey captures a transition between the recreation-focused Mt Blue State Park and the industrial riverfronts to the south. Along the Androscoggin River, the Maine Central Railroad tracks follow the valley floor, connecting the primary settlements of Dixfield and Peru. Between these hubs, small crossroads like Berry Mills and Hildreths Mill indicate a history of local timber and water power. Genealogists will find numerous family-associated landmarks preserved here, including the Mastermans Cem and Robertson Cem, alongside several named corners and ridges that define the rural character of Franklin and Oxford Counties.
