2011 Map of Madrid

About this map

The Sandy River and its major tributaries define the settlement patterns of this Franklin County township, where the village of Madrid sits at the confluence with Saddleback Stream. This 2011 survey documents the interior highlands of western Maine, recording small historic enclaves like the Masterman Neighborhood and the rail-named Madrid Junction near Toothaker Pond. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations including Blueberry Mountain and Hurricane Mountain, which rise above a network of waterways such as Cottle Brook and the South Branch Sandy River. For those researching local families, the Madrid Cemetery remains a key landmark north of River Rd. The map illustrates a transitional rural economy where traditional names like Beech Hill and Bear Hill persist alongside modern access routes, showing how the river valleys continue to dictate the placement of roads and homesteads in this corner of the state.
