About this map

The Piscataquis Co Penobscot Co boundary bisects this rural landscape, which is defined by a traditional network of crossroads settlements and small-scale water power sites. The village of Garland serves as a local hub, situated near Garland Pond and surrounded by numerous named corners that suggest early 19th-century land divisions and family farmsteads. Features like Dover South Mills and Silvers Mills reflect the region's historic reliance on watercourses such as the Main Stream Sebasticook River and Black Stream.

Genealogists can trace family lines through several local burial grounds, including Pine Grove Cem and Evergreen Cem. The terrain rises toward Norton Hill in the north and Preble Hill in the west, while the southern reaches contain the modern footprint of the Dexter Regional Airport. This 2014 survey preserves the locations of numerous small-scale landmarks, from Mansfield Ledge to the various crossroads that shaped community life, such as Haseltine Corner and Earnest Corner.
