About this map

Sandy River flows through the heart of Franklin County, framing the village of Phillips and the smaller settlements of Avon and Avon Corner. The landscape is defined by its significant relief, rising from the river valley to the heights of Phillips Mountain, Spruce Mountain, and Tantrattle Mountain. This 2014 survey documents a region where local geography is intimately tied to family history, evidenced by a high density of small cemeteries like the Knott Burial Plot, Pease Cem, and Whitney Cem that dot the hillsides and road junctions.

Infrastructure in this part of Maine is concentrated along the river corridor, where Rangeley Rd and Salem Rd provide primary access. Notable landmarks include the Lindbergh Airport and several high-elevation water bodies like Tory Hill Pond and Day Mountain Pond. The distribution of burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Evergreen Cem, provides a detailed record of the community's ancestral footprint across the township and neighboring highlands.
