2018 Map of Oakfield

About this map

Oakfield and Dyer Brook serve as the primary hubs in this Aroostook County landscape, where the local economy and settlement patterns are closely tied to the water. The East Branch Mattawamkeag River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, connecting larger water bodies like Pleasant Lake and Upper Mattawamkeag Lake. These lakes are characterized by numerous named points and coves, such as Birch Point, Beaverdam Point, and Sand Cove, suggesting a history of recreational and local residential use. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Oakfield Cem, Dyer Brook Cem, and Tarbell Cem. The terrain rises toward DeLette Ridge and Robinson Mtn, while the road network, including Thompson Settlement and Walker Settlement Rd, provides evidence of earlier agricultural or timber-related communities.
