2024 Map of Phillips

About this map

The Sandy River winds through this Franklin County landscape, anchoring the village of Phillips and the neighboring settlement of Avon. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, including Phillips Mtn, Spruce Mtn, and Day Mtn, while Mount Blue Pond and Tory Hill Pond dot the higher ground. A high density of burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem, Phillips Maine Cem, and the Knott Burial Plot, reflects generations of local families clustered along the river valley and old mountain roads like Tory Hill Rd. Transportation is marked by a network of rural routes and the presence of Lindbergh Airport south of the main village. The distribution of features suggests a community deeply integrated into its mountainous environment, where small-scale valley agriculture and upland forestry likely shaped the development of sites like Mount Blue Cem and Day Mountain Cem.
