About this map

Farmington and its surrounding hill country are defined by a network of small watercourses and family-named ridges along the Carroll Co Strafford Co line. The Cocheco River and its many tributaries, such as Dames Brook and Pokamoonshine Brook, dictated the placement of early settlements and industry. Evidence of the region’s hydraulic history remains at Waldron Mill Pond and the Br River Reservoir near Union.

Genealogists can find significant local data points in the scattered burial grounds like Whitehouse Cem, Wentworth Cem, and Nutes Ridge Cem. The transportation corridors of the area are well-established, with the BM RR rail line and RT-16 carving paths through the terrain near Teneriffe Mtn and Birch Ridge. The map details the transition from rural clusters at Middleton Corners and Hayes Corner to the denser residential core of Farmington proper.
