About this map

The Piscataquis River serves as the central artery for this Piscataquis County landscape, dividing the twin communities of Dover-Foxcroft. This 1980s-era survey documents the regional transition from industrial rail reliance to modern infrastructure. The Maine Central RR cuts across the center of the sheet, connecting smaller outlying settlements like East Dover and Starbirds.

Genealogists can locate several family-named burial grounds, including Lee Cem, Foss Cem, and McAllister Cem. Educational and civic life is anchored by the Jr High Sch and Foxcroft Academy near the river, while the surrounding terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Black Hill and Bear Hill. The map also details early recreational and landing points along the water, such as Garland Pond and Harriman Pond in the township of Sebec.
