About this map

The Ossipee River carves a central path through this region of the Maine-New Hampshire border, serving as the historical boundary between Porter and the hills of North Parsonsfield. The settlement at Kezar Falls represents a significant local center where the river's power was harnessed, while the surrounding landscape is marked by a high density of family burial grounds, including the Porter Village Cem, Leavitt Cem, and Trueworthy Cem.

Upland features like Moulton Ridge and Rattlesnake Mountain overlook a network of glacial water bodies such as Colcord Pond and Bickford Pond. The Porter-Parsonsfield Bridge stands as a notable landmark connecting the riverside communities. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the area, where ancient roads like Old Meetinghouse Rd and Moses Chapman Rd lead to legacy farmsteads and small cemeteries tucked into the wooded terrain.
