About this map

Paris is the primary named community in this portion of Coos County, located along the winding course of Brooks Brook as it flows toward the Upper Ammonoosuc R. The landscape is dominated by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Whitcomb Mountain and Long Mountain to the low-lying waters of Dummer Ponds. This 1988 provisional survey details a remote, heavily forested region where the borders of Millsfield, Odell, Dummer, and Stark meet.

The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, defined by many small waterways such as Number Two Brook and Jodrie Brook that feed into larger systems like the West Branch Phillips Brook. Local history researchers will find the placement of family-named landmarks like Bickford Hill and Roberts Hill essential for understanding land ownership and travel patterns in this timber-rich corner of New Hampshire during the late twentieth century.
