About this map

The Androscoggin River flows through the heart of this Oxford County landscape, shaping the development of riverside settlements like West Peru, Peru, and Dixfield. The mapping reveals a valley defined by significant elevation changes, with Whittemore Bluff and Morrill Ledges overlooking the water. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and community burial sites, including the Holman Family Cem near Dixfield Center and the Pine Knoll Cem in the south.

Upland areas like Harlow Ridge and Siberia Meadows illustrate the transition from the river-bottom industry to the more isolated agricultural and timber tracts of the north. To the northwest, the town of Carthage sits along the Webb River, which serves as a primary drainage for the surrounding peaks such as Masterman Hill and Sugarloaf. The network of local roads, including Weld St and Canton Rd, connects these scattered settlements across the complex terrain of ridges and brooks.
