About this map

Wilton and its surrounding villages characterize this landscape of western Maine, where the terrain transitions from the shores of Wilson Pond to the heights of Spruce Mountain. The town of Jay and the adjacent community of Chisholm anchor the southern portion of the sheet along the Androscoggin River, a corridor long defined by its industrial and residential development. Smaller settlements such as Dryden, East Wilton, and Beans Corner are connected by a network of local roads that wind through the hills and valleys of the Farmington area.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of burial sites including Lakeview Cem, North Jay Cem, and the Stubbs Mill Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy organized around water and wood, with names like Varnum Stream, Sevenmile Stream, and Little Norridgewock Stream marking the drainage patterns. Landmarks like Hilltop Airport and several family-named corners such as MacQuillis Corner and Stones Corner provide specific points of reference for tracing property and community changes over time.
