About this map

Oakfield serves as a primary hub of rail activity in southern Aroostook County, marked by extensive trackage including 12 Tracks and 8 Tracks near the town center. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the East Branch Mattawamkeag River and several tributary brooks, such as Huntley Brook and Moose Brook. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and ridges, with the Walker Settlement and the small community at Dyer Brook punctuating the wooded terrain.

Southern reaches of the map transition into a recreational and scenic corridor along the shores of Upper Mattawamkeag Lake and Pleasant Lake. Significant landforms like Robinson Mtn and The Bluff overlook these waters, which are connected by the Mattawamkeag River. Notable for genealogists, several small Cemeteries are noted near the settlements, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits reflects the local extractive industry during the mid-1980s.
