2018 Map of Mount Zircon

About this map

East Milton and the smaller settlement of Redding anchor this part of Oxford County, a landscape defined by prominent peaks and vital water sources. The namesake Mt Zircon rises centrally, its slopes drained by Zircon Brook toward the Mount Zircon Reservoir. Local genealogy is well-preserved through family-named burial sites including Greenleaf Cem and Robbins Cem, while the rugged southern terrain is marked by Mollyockett Mtn. A cluster of water bodies to the east, including Concord Pond, Shagg Pond, and Halfmoon Pond, provided critical resources for the early valley inhabitants. The road network, including Milton Rd and Redding Rd, follows the natural contours carved by the W Br Nezinscot River and Concord River, reflecting a pattern of settlement and movement dictated by the high-elevation topography of the western Maine mountains.
