2024 Map of Gorham

About this map

Gorham serves as the central hub of this Cumberland County landscape, where the University of Southern Maine - Gorham Campus anchors the town's geography. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds, such as Eastern Cem, Larrabee Cem, and the Smith - Anderson Cem, which reflect the deep generational roots of the surrounding countryside. This settlement pattern follows a network of brooks and rivers, most notably the Presumpscot River and the winding Stroudwater River. To the north, the terrain rises toward Pleasant Ridge and Smalls Hill, while the southern reaches transition into the lowlands near South Gorham and Babb Corner. The geography here is defined by these watercourses, with the Little River and Mosher Brook carving through a mix of established residential corridors and more open fields like Webster Field.
