About this map

West Topsham and the surrounding rural townships of Orange and Corinth are defined by the winding course of the Waits River and its numerous tributaries. This early 1980s landscape is a complex of high ridges and narrow valley settlements, where small community centers like West Corinth and Corinth Center are linked by a network of secondary roads and trails. The presence of several family-named landmarks, such as Pierson Hill and Williams Hill, alongside the Hutchinson Cem and Fellows Cem, provides a detailed view of the regional genealogy and historical land ownership.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered sandpits and identified mines on Pike Hill, indicating the local extraction history within this forested terrain. The western edge of the quadrangle includes a portion of the Washington State Forest, while agricultural or pastoral clearings are evident near Goose Green and along the Meadow Brook. Educational and infrastructure details are captured through the Union No 36 Sch and a Gaging Sta on the East Branch Orange River.
