Pennesseewassee Lake and its smaller counterpart, Little Pennesseewassee Pond, anchor this study of the Oxford Hills region. The landscape is defined by its industrial and social hubs at South Paris and Norway, where the Little Androscoggin River flows past the Oxford Fairgrounds and the South Paris Dam. The map reveals a high density of ancestral sites, including several well-distributed burial grounds such as Riverside Cemetery, Webber Cemetery, and Ryefield Cemetery. Numerous family-named peaks like Pike Hill, Frost Hill, and Allen Hill overlook the winding course of the Crooked River as it passes through Stuarts Corner. This era of the Maine interior shows a balance of established town centers and widespread rural farmsteads, connected by a network of local routes like Sodom Rd and Greeley Hill Rd.
