2018 Map of Dixmont

About this map

Mt Harris stands as a prominent topographical anchor overlooking the rural landscape of Penobscot and Waldo Counties. This 2018 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of Dixmont, Troy, and the small community of North Dixmont. The area is defined by a series of small, family-named burial grounds and historical landmarks, including Mount Holly Cem, Webster Cem, and the community of Rollins Mills in the northeast. The drainage of Martin Stream and the wetlands of Cates Meadows suggest a landscape where agriculture and woodland have long coexisted. By tracing the paths of Bangor Rd and Western Ave, one can observe how these early thoroughfares connected the scattered hamlets and farmsteads. The map serves as a detailed guide to the region's genealogy, marking specific landmarks like Jewel Cem and Hathaway Cem that remain vital to local historical research.
