2021 Map of New Portland

About this map

Lexington Flats and the triple settlements of the New Portlands anchor this survey of the Maine interior, where the Carrabassett River and Gilman Stream define the valley floor. The landscape is characterized by a high density of family-named heights such as Millay Hill, Goodrich Hill, and Brackett Hill, which rise above the wetlands of Sucker Brook and Sandy Stream. A significant landmark of local engineering, the New Portland Wire Bridge, spans the river near the junction of Wire Bridge Rd and River Rd. The settlement pattern follows the waterways and the early road network, including Lexington Rd and Old Co Rd, while several community burial grounds like North New Portland Cem and Greenleaf Cem provide essential data points for local genealogy and land-use history.
