1984 Map of Sangerville

About this map

The Piscataquis River winds through this mid-1980s portrait of central Maine, serving as the historical and geographic anchor for the neighboring towns of Sangerville, Guilford, and Dover-Foxcroft. The landscape is a transition between the industrial river corridor and the high ground of Guilford Mountain and Buker Mountain. Evidence of the region's earlier transportation network is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the iconic Lows Bridge spanning the river. Local genealogy and land use are well-documented through small family or community clusters like Howard Corner and Jackson Corner, alongside several burial sites including Rural Grove Cem and Brawn Cem. While the river remains central, the interior is dotted with significant water bodies such as Salmon Stream Pond and Manhanock Pond, reflecting the rural character of Piscataquis County during this era.
