Maine State Route 4 runs northeast with US 2 to Farmington but branches off at Wilton, leading south 6 miles (10 km) to the center of Jay.

Maine State Route 156 passes through the center of Wilton, leading northwest 13 miles (21 km) to Weld and east 10 miles (16 km) to US 2 beyond Farmington, near the town of New Sharon.

[2] Most of the water area is Wilson Pond, which occupies the western side of the CDP.

The pond's outlet, Wilson Stream, descends 80 feet (24 m) in elevation through the CDP, which allowed for the development of a few water-powered factories in the 19th century.
