About this map

Glacial ponds and granite peaks define this Oxford County landscape, where the Grand Trunk railroad follows the course of the Little Grand Trunk Androscoggin River. In the late 1960s, the village of Greenwood sits tucked between hills and the northern tip of Hicks Pond, serving as a focal point for a region of scattered upland farms and small settlements like Hunts Corner and North Norway.

The presence of Willis Mill and numerous quarries, including several near Noyes Mtn and The Nubble, points to an economy rooted in timber and stone. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Rowe Hill Cem and Patch Mountain Cem, while landmarks like the Ice Cave on Uncle Tom Mtn highlight the unique geological features of the area. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of jeep trails and primitive paths leading to isolated waters like Oversett Pond and Speck Ponds.
