2011 Map of Dixmont

About this map

Martin Stream winds through the heart of this Penobscot County landscape, connecting a network of crossroads settlements and small farmsteads. The area around Dixmont and North Dixmont is defined by its agricultural layout, with long-standing family names preserved in locations like Hows Corners and Huise Corners. Significant topographical markers like Mount Harris and Common Hill overlook the local drainages of Great Farm Brook and the North Branch Marsh Stream. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Sawyer Cemetery near Plymouth Pond and the Webster Cemetery along Webster Cemetery Rd. The transition from the rural village of Troy to the higher elevations of the central hills reveals a landscape still largely structured by the early road and water networks that supported the nineteenth-century economy, visible at sites like Rollins Mills.
