2014 Map of Gorham

About this map

Gorham serves as the central hub of this Cumberland County survey, where the Univ of Southern Maine Gorham campus is situated near the town center. The landscape is defined by the winding courses of the Presumpscot River to the northeast and the Stroudwater River to the south, which drain a series of ridges including Cressey Hill and Pleasant Ridge. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with family-named landmarks and resting places, from the Old Anderson Cem and Smith Anderson Cem near South Windham to the Harmon Berry Cem in the southwest. Small crossroads and historically distinct neighborhoods like Gag Corner, Mosher Corner, and Babb Corner illustrate the residential development pattern surrounding the larger village. The map also captures the transition from Gorham into North Scarborough, documenting the local road networks and small brooks that have shaped these Maine communities for generations.
