About this map

Paris serves as a small focal point in this high-country landscape of Coos County, located where the Phillips Brook and Brooks Brook converge. The terrain is defined by the steep slopes of Whitcomb Mountain and Long Mountain, which create a complex drainage system feeding into the Upper Ammonoosuc R at the southern edge of the sheet. This 1980s provisional survey highlights a region dominated by timberland and seasonal water bodies, including the isolated Trio Ponds and the larger Dummer Ponds.

The presence of a significant trans line cutting across the southern township of Stark near Bickford Hill indicates the utility infrastructure supporting the region's industry. To the southeast, the Pontook Res marks a major water feature on the landscape, while the interior is crisscrossed by logging routes like Number Two Brook. This map documents a transitional period in New Hampshire's north country, where traditional drainage patterns meet modern power and water management systems.
