About this map

New Vineyard Mountains dominate the center of this western Maine landscape, anchoring a high-relief terrain of granite peaks and narrow valleys. The settlement of New Vineyard sits tucked between the slopes and Mill Pond, while the smaller hamlet of West Mills is positioned to the southeast along Falls Brook. Water serves as the primary sculptor of the local geography, with Lemon Stream and Barker Brook carving deep routes through the hills.

A complex network of summits including Ick Norton Mtn, Griffin Mtn, and True Mtn defines the rugged borderlands between the townships of Industry and New Portland. This 1989 edition shows a transitional era in land use, featuring active Gravel Pit operations alongside historical landmarks like Great Works and local Cem sites. These features indicate a long-standing balance between industrial extraction and small-town residential life in Franklin and Somerset Counties.
