About this map

Bryant Pond serves as a northern anchor in this 1967 field-checked survey of Oxford County, where the Grand Trunk railroad corridor snakes through the valley of the Little Grand Trunk Androscoggin River. The settlement of Greenwood sits near the shores of Hicks Pond, surrounded by a landscape defined by small-scale industry and family-named landmarks. Features like Willis Mill and several scattered quarries indicate the area's resource-based economy, while the presence of the Ice Cave on Uncle Tom Mtn highlights distinctive natural landmarks that shaped local geography.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites across the townships of Albany, Woodstock, Waterford, and Norway. The map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds, including Rowe Hill Cem, Patch Mountain Cem, and Merrill Hill Cem, alongside small communities like Hunts Corner and Nobles Corner. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies like Twitchell Pond and Hutchinson Pond, connected by an intricate network of streams including Sanborn River and Hobbs Brook.
