About this map

The Androscoggin River flows through the southern portion of this region, joined by the Webb River which travels south from The Falls. This Oxford County terrain is defined by its numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Masterman Hill, Potter Hill, and Kidder Mountain. The settlement of Dixfield serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as West Peru and Dixfield Center.

For researchers, the landscape is marked by a dense distribution of burial grounds, from the Riverside Cem near the riverbanks to the more secluded Holman Family Cem. Unusual place names like Podunk Pond and Siberia Meadows speak to the local character of northern New England. High points such as Sugarloaf and Bull Rock overlook a network of brooks and streams, including Aunt Hannah Brook and Newton Brook, which drain the diverse upland topography.
