Brownfield is a rural community with a current population of about 1400 and a total area of 46.2 square miles. It is situated in the south-western part of Oxford County. Denmark lies on the east, Fryeburg on the north, Hiram and Porter on the south, and the New Hampshire towns of Eaton and Conway on the west. The Saco River comes down through the northern part, then turning eastward, forms part of the eastern boundary. The Great Fires of 1947 destroyed 85% of Brownfield, but today the visual effects of the fire have all but been eradicated. Today Brownfield is home to the Stone Mountain Arts Center, is located on the Route 113 Scenic By-Way, and is home to several campgrounds, restaurants and cottage industries. The Saco River is an integral part of summer recreation along with Burnt Meadow Mountain, and “The Bog”. The Brownfield Bog is a 5,700 acre wildlife management area under the control of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
