About this map

East Hebron and North Auburn sit at the intersection of rural agriculture and the complex drainage of the Maine highlands. The landscape is defined by its numerous small-scale family and community landmarks, particularly the concentration of burying grounds such as Asa Bearce Cem, Dillingham Cem, and North Auburn Cem. These sites, often positioned on high ground like Dillingham Hill or near the margins of water bodies like The Basin, reveal the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Androscoggin Co and Oxford Co.

The terrain is broken by distinctive features like Woodward Mountain and Death Valley, while a dense network of watercourses, including Bog Brook and Meadow Brook, once supported the local farm-and-timber economy. Significant heights such as Bradbury Hill and Mount Prospect overlook small crossroads like West Minot and Center Minot, where historic road networks like Hebron Rd and Brighton Hill Rd follow the contours of the land.
