About this map

The Ossipee River defines the valley floor of this borderlands region, winding through the industrial and residential heart of Kezar Falls and Porter. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1980s, captures a landscape of small villages and seasonal camps scattered among ridges like Moulton Ridge and Libby Hill. The presence of the Parsonsfield Seminary and the Old Meetinghouse Road points to the deep-rooted civic and educational history of the area.

Genealogists can find numerous family burial grounds, including the Merrill Cem, Leavitt Cem, and Sargent Cem, often located near former homesteads or at rural intersections like Huntress Corner. Water bodies such as Colcord Pond, Bickford Pond, and Stanley Pond show a transition toward recreation, evidenced by the established Camp Hiawatha. The map clearly delineates the complex county and state boundaries where New Hampshire's Effingham meets Maine's Parsonsfield and Porter.
