1994 Map of Dover-Foxcroft

About this map

Piscataquis River and the Kennebec River define the hydraulic character of this central Maine region, where the industrial heritage of textile and lumber mills is visible in towns like Dover-Foxcroft and Guilford. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Boarstone Mountain and Benson Mountain in the north toward the rolling farm and woodland of the southern reaches. This late-twentieth-century compilation highlights a significant transition in land use, showing the Moscow Air Force Station Transmit Site alongside established recreational corridors like Peaks-Kenny State Park. Transportation networks are dominated by the Canadian Pacific RR and Bangor & Aroostook RR, which historically connected these woods to the broader Atlantic markets. The presence of numerous smaller settlements like Shirley Mills and Abbot Village illustrates a settlement pattern deeply tied to local water power and the timber industry.
