2018 Map of Dixfield

About this map

The Androscoggin River flows through the southern portion of this region, providing the primary geographic corridor for the towns of Peru and Dixfield. This landscape is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Holman Family Cem, Burgess Hill Cem, and Demerritt Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Oxford County. The confluence of the Webb River and the Androscoggin anchors the settlement at Dixfield, while smaller hamlets like West Peru and Dixfield Center are situated along the valley floor. To the north, the terrain rises into numerous named peaks and ridges, including Storer Hill, Masterman Hill, and the prominent Whittemore Bluff. These uplands are drained by a complex network of streams like Aunt Hannah Brook and Kittredge Brook, illustrating the transition from river-bottom settlements to the timbered heights of the western Maine interior.
