2018 Map of Pittsfield

About this map

The Sebasticook River winds through this central Maine landscape, connecting the rural hamlets of Thompson, West Palmyra, and Waverley with the larger hub of Pittsfield. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Huff Hill, Ford Hill, and Negro Hill, while the lowlands are dominated by expansive wetlands like Canaan Bog. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where modern transportation infrastructure, including the Pittsfield Municipal Airport and Interstate 95, intersects with historical footprints. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, from Warren Hill Cem in the north to the West Pittsfield Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Thompson Brook, Meadow Brook, and Johonnett Brook illustrate the intricate water network feeding into Douglas Pond, reflecting the area's transition from traditional agricultural and timber lands to a more contemporary Maine community.
