2021 Map of Paris East

About this map

Paris serves as the regional hub at the western edge of this Monroe County landscape, anchored by the Monroe County Courthouse. The terrain is defined by the convergence of the Middle Fork Salt River and the Elk Fork Salt River, which feed into the sprawling waters of Mark Twain Lake to the east. This transition from river valley to reservoir has fundamentally reshaped the local geography, submerged portions of the old drainage network while preserving higher ground where rural communities like Strother persist. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Walnut Grove Cem, Scobee Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and New Hope Cem. Smaller watercourses such as Jordan Br, Turkey Cr, and Coon Cr navigate the dissected uplands, providing a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns that guided early settlement along the county road system.
