2018 Map of Worthley Pond

About this map

Worthley Pond and its surrounding highlands define this part of Oxford County, where the topography transitions from the Androscoggin River valley into a dense network of mountains. Small settlements like Dickvale and Sumner are linked by a web of historic roads, including Stagecoach Rd and Old Town Farm Rd. The landscape is notably punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Dickvale Cem, Knox Cem, and the Glover Young Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural Maine interior. The complex drainage of the area is evident in the multiple branches of the Nezinscot River, including the East Branch Nezinscot River and W Br Nezinscot River, which carve through the terrain between peaks like Poland Mtn and Ragged Jack Mtn. These watercourses and their associated valleys have historically dictated the placement of farms and small hamlets across the quadrangle.
