2012 Map of Gilead
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The Androscoggin River flows eastward through a landscape defined by prominent peaks and river islands in this Oxford County survey. The settlement of Gilead occupies the southern bank near the confluence with the Wild River, a point where transportation corridors follow the natural valley floor. Numerous river features, including Philbrook Island, Peabody Island, and Blake Island, reveal the shifting course of the water through the lowlands. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Tumbledown Dick Mountain and Jakes Notch. For those researching local families, the Chapman Cemetery and named roads like Monkey Brook Rd or Gordon Mountain Rd provide specific points of reference for tracing early land use and heritage in the mountains of western Maine.
