About this map

The Sandy River winds across the southern reaches of this Franklin County landscape, framing the village of New Sharon. This 2018 survey details a region defined by its narrow valley roads and upland ridges, where the settlement patterns of Weeks Mills and Bullen Mills follow the drainage of Muddy Brook. These small clusters, along with Overlake near the northern shore of Clearwater Pond, represent the enduring rural character of the area.

Genealogists will find a wealth of location data in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, including Mosher Hill Cem, Allens Mills Cem, and Pike Cem. The terrain rises from the riverbanks toward peaks like Bannock Mtn and Perham Hill, while numerous water bodies such as Mosher Pond and Josiah Brook mark the drainage network connecting the hills to the Sandy River valley.
