1956 Map of Dixfield

About this map

Webb Lake and the high ridges of Mt Blue State Park anchor this mid-century look at Franklin and Oxford counties. The landscape is defined by its deep mountain valleys and the drainage of the Webb River, which flows south from the lake through Carthage toward its confluence with the Androscoggin River. Industry and transport follow the water, with the Maine Central Railroad and several small settlements like West Peru and Dixfield clustered along the southern river corridor.
