2018 Map of East Dixmont

About this map

East Dixmont and its surrounding countryside represent a classic Central Maine interior landscape, where small crossroads settlements grew around a network of family farms and rural thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises such as Peaked Mtn, Piper Mtn, and Twombly Mtn, which separate the various drainage basins of Chase Stream and Thurlow Brook. This 2018 survey reveals a high density of small, family-named burial grounds including Harmony Place Cem, Simpson Corners Cem, and Toothaker Cem, providing an invaluable resource for tracing the genealogy of the region's early settlers. The mapping of Gilmore Meadows and Chase Bog illustrates the significant wetland systems that characterize the low-lying areas between the granite-topped hills. Transportation centers on the east-west corridor of Western Ave, which links the hamlets of Dixmont Center and Newburgh Center.
