2018 Map of Hiram

About this map

Dyer's Landing and the winding Saco River define this corner of the Maine landscape where water systems and small rural settlements converge. The area around Denmark and Hiram is marked by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, such as Harriden Cem and Merrifield Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogists researching the Oxford and Cumberland county border. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Allen Mtn and the Boston Hills, interspersed with numerous bodies of water including Pequawket Pond and Granger Pond. Modern infrastructure follows the path of older routes like Sebago Rd and Old Rte 5, connecting historic locations such as Rankins Mill to the broader region. This 2018 survey provides a contemporary perspective on the enduring land patterns of the Saco and Tenmile River valleys.
