About this map

The Little Androscoggin River flows through the industrial and civic heart of Norway and South Paris in this mid-century survey of Oxford County. The landscape reflects a transition from the village-centered economies of Bolsters Mills and Scribners Mill toward the larger commercial hubs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Significant institutional landmarks are recorded, including the Town Farm near Harrison and the Bell Hill Meeting House in Otisfield, which serves as a notable high-ground marker overlooking the surrounding lakes.

A network of water bodies including Pennesseewassee Lake, Keoka Lake, and Crystal Lake defines the local topography, while an extensive Pipe Line and Underground Pipe Line network cuts across the terrain from East Waterford toward the southeast. Genealogists will find numerous family-centric locations such as Webber Cem, Bisbeetown Cem, and Otisfield Gore Cem, alongside vanished rural school sites like Maple Ridge Sch and Lewis Sch.
