About this map

Oakfield and the neighboring community of Dyer Brook anchor this southern Aroostook County landscape where the river and rail corridors shaped early settlement. The East Branch Mattawamkeag River winds southward through the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Thomas Brook and Moose Brook before reaching Pleasant Lake. To the south, the terrain descends toward Upper Mattawamkeag Lake, a significant water body bordered by the Vacationland Ests development and Walker Settlement.

Transport history is evident in the alignment of Old Route 2 and the local road network, including Thompson Settlement Rd and Dow Farm Rd, which link the high ground of DeLette Ridge and Oakfield Hills to the valley floor. Genealogists may find interest in the Oakfield Cemetery located near the town center or the historical crossing at Red Bridge. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid of the village to the shoreline features like Birch Point and Beaverdam Point, illustrating the region's enduring mix of agriculture and recreation.
