THE TEMPLE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Western Maine Foothills setting.

Temple town has 35.5 square miles of land in Franklin County. Its Census reference point is in Western Maine Foothills, within Northeastern Highlands.

Forested hills and mountains span northern New England, the Adirondacks and higher Catskills. Glacial lakes and steep streams accompany a transition between northern hardwood and spruce-fir forests.

Regional context: Northeastern Highlands ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Temple and Franklin County

Temple is associated with Franklin County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Franklin County

Temple by land and water

The Census records 0.23 square miles of water within Temple, or 0.6% of its total area. It is 2 percentage points lower than the 2.7% recorded for Franklin County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Temple town has 86.1% of the land area of nearby Wilton town (41.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Temple land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Temple

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Temple. Check the Franklin County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Western Maine Foothills setting

Western Maine Foothills belongs to Northeastern Highlands. What do the tract's topographic map and road records show about slope, stream crossings and the approach to the acreage?

03

Check the route, beyond Wilton

Wilton is 4.9 miles south of the Temple reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Temple
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Temple?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Franklin County. Temple’s 35.5 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Temple property in Western Maine Foothills?+

No. Western Maine Foothills is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Temple boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Wilton as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 4.9 miles south of Temple’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Temple?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
