2014 Map of New Portland

About this map

The New Portland Wire Bridge stands as a focal point near the southern edge of this map, crossing the Carrabassett River near the village of New Portland. This area of Maine is defined by a series of settlements including North New Portland, East New Portland, and Lexington, each established along the valleys created by the river and its tributaries like Gilman Stream and Lemon Stream. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Gilman Pond Mountain and Millay Hill, which overlook various water bodies like Gilman Pond and Hancock Pond. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are documented, including Greenleaf Cem and the North New Portland Cem. The network of backroads, such as Katie Crotch Rd and Bog Rd, provides a detailed look at the rural connectivity between these valley communities and the surrounding hillsides.
