About this map

Dixmont Center and Newburgh Center anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Penobscot and Waldo counties. The area is characterized by a significant number of family and local burial grounds, including the Maplewood - Tasker Cem, Simpson Corners Cem, and Arnolds Corner Cem, suggesting a long-established network of farmstead communities.

Elevations rise toward several prominent peaks like Peaked Mtn and Piper Mtn, while the drainage system of Chase Stream and Thurlow Brook feeds into scattered water bodies such as Wellmans Pond and Chapman Pond. The road network, including Western Ave and Kennebec Rd, follows the contours of the high ground, connecting small clusters of settlement such as East Dixmont and South Newburgh with the surrounding timber and marshlands of Chase Bog and Gilmore Meadows.
