About this map

The Ossipee River serves as the central artery of this region, winding past the settlements of Porter, Kezar Falls, and South Hiram. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous glacial water bodies, from Colcord Pond in the north to Bickford Pond and Mine Pond. Cultural life is anchored by institutional landmarks such as the Parsonsfield Seminary and the Old Meetinghouse, which stand as focal points for the surrounding rural communities.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of family-named burial sites, including Huntress Cem, Trueworthy Cem, and Leavitt Cem, scattered among the hills like Stacy Hill and Moulton Ridge. The border between New Hampshire Maine and the boundary of Carroll Co Oxford Co slice through the western terrain, highlighting the map's role in documenting local jurisdictional lines alongside established landmarks like Camp Hiawatha.
