About this map

Norway and South Paris serve as the industrial and social anchors of this Oxford County landscape, where the Grand Trunk Railway follows the valley floor. The map documents a post-war rural economy still deeply tied to its water resources and local institutions, evidenced by the numerous small settlements like Bolsters Mills and Scribners Mill situated along the winding Crooked River.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named landmarks and civic structures, including the Bell Hill Meeting House and the Town Farm. Educational history is preserved through scattered rural schoolhouses such as Maple Ridge Sch and Chapel District Sch. From the heights of Mt Tire'm to the shores of Keoka Lake and Long Lake, the survey captures a network of state routes and backroads connecting isolated cemeteries like Webber Cem and Bisbeetown Cem to the larger market towns.
