1982 Map of Dixmont

About this map

Mount Harris dominates the central landscape of this rural Maine quadrangle, featuring a Lookout Tower that surveys the surrounding townships of Dixmont, Troy, and Jackson. This 1982 edition illustrates a region defined by agricultural heritage and small-town crossroads, where settlements like Dixmont Center and North Dixmont cluster around intersections. The map is a vital resource for genealogical research, documenting several family-named burial grounds including Jewel Cem, Hathaway Cem, and Sawyer Cem. Waterways like Martin Stream and the North Branch Marsh Stream wind through the wooded lowlands, past landmarks such as Hows Corners and Rogers Corners. The presence of numerous Gravel Pit locations across the terrain reflects the local geology and the ongoing maintenance of the township's rural road network during the late twentieth century.
