1964 Map of Kezar Falls

About this map

The Ossipee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Maine and New Hampshire, anchoring a landscape of small mill towns and glacial water bodies. The settlement of Kezar Falls straddles the river at the junction of Porter and Parsonsfield, serving as a focal point for the region's late 20th-century development alongside nearby South Hiram. High ground is defined by prominent ridges like Moulton Ridge and Stacy Hill, which overlook a network of lakes including Colecord Pond and Bickford Pond, both controlled by spillways. For local historians, the map preserves the location of the Parsonsfield Seminary and the Old Meetinghouse, reflecting the community's educational and religious foundations. Numerous family burial sites, such as Huntress Cem and Leavitt Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering essential clues for genealogical research in this rural New England corridor.
