2024 Map of East Dixfield

About this map

Sevenmile Stream and its numerous tributaries, including Potash Brook and Butterfield Brook, define the drainage patterns of this upland terrain in the western Maine foothills. The settlement of East Dixfield serves as a central junction where local routes like E Dixfield Rd and Science Hill Rd converge near the boundary of Franklin and Oxford Counties. This landscape is marked by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Tainter Corner Cem and Science Hill Cem, which reflect the area's deep agricultural and early pioneer roots. Prominent elevations like Colonel Holman Mtn and Canton Mtn rise above the valley floors, while the southern edge of the map is defined by the Androscoggin River and its proximity to Bean Island. The map illustrates a rural network of roads and hills that have sustained local communities like Wilton for generations.
