2011 Map of Fryeburg

About this map

The Saco River and its intricate Old Course Saco River dominate this New England landscape, illustrating a complex history of hydrological shifts and land use. Near the southern reaches, the primary settlement of Fryeburg is established alongside Jockey Cap and Starks Mountain, while outlying villages like North Fryeburg, West Fryeburg, and Fryeburg Center indicate a dispersed agricultural and residential pattern. Water management is a visible theme, evidenced by the Fryeburg Dam, the Kezar River Mill Dam at the northern edge, and the Swans Falls Dam near the Fryeburg Fairgrounds. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Riverside Cemetery, Abbot Cemeteries, and the Wiley Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research. The map also captures the transition between the lowlands of Bog Pond and the elevations of Mount Tom, framing a region defined by its reliance on the river system.
