2014 Map of Guilford

About this map

The Piscataquis River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this region of Maine, anchoring the larger town of Guilford and the smaller community of Abbot Village. The landscape is a network of water and timbered heights, where Kingsbury Stream joins the river and numerous ponds like Harlow Pond and Second Davis Pond dot the lowlands. The presence of Monson Junction and segments of an Old Railroad Rd reflect the historic importance of rail transport for the local economy. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the township, including Elmwood Cem, Lawn Cem, and the more remote Frenchs Hill Cem near French Hill. To the south, the village of Parkman sits at a crossroads, marked by the Parkman Corner Cem, while the northern hills rise toward peaks like Guilford Mtn and Oak Hill.
