2011 Map of Lewiston

About this map

The Androscoggin River serves as the industrial and geographic spine of this Maine twin-city region, where the legacy of textile manufacturing is preserved through massive structures like the Bates Mill and Androscoggin Mill. These sites, along with the Barker Mill Dam and Lewiston Falls Dam, reflect a landscape deeply shaped by water power. Surrounding the urban cores of Lewiston and Auburn, the terrain is punctuated by significant heights such as Mount David and Thorncrag Hill, while the outlying areas reveal a dense network of smaller corners and junctions. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the expansive Gracelawn Memorial Park to smaller, family-named plots like Briggs Cemetery and McKenney Cemetery. The map also captures the academic presence of the Lewiston-Auburn College-University of Southern Maine and the vital modern infrastructure of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge.
