Gilead

Gilead has served as a rural settlement in western Maine since its incorporation in 1804. The town occupies a stretch of the Androscoggin River valley near the New Hampshire line, where wooded slopes and broad river flats define the setting. U.S. Route 2 and a rail corridor follow the valley, reflecting a long-established east–west route through the mountains. White Mountain National Forest lies close by, while the larger service centre of Bethel is downstream on the Androscoggin. Gilead is shaped less by a compact centre than by scattered homes, forest roads and the working river valley.
