2012 Map of Paris South

About this map

The city of Paris sits at the northern edge of this landscape, its urban grid defined by streets like E Court St and Maple Ave. South of the city center, the terrain opens into a rolling agricultural expanse drained by the E Fork and Clear Cr. This rural stretch is dotted with a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Edgar Cem, Redmon Cem, Cassady Cem, and Swango Cem, providing significant geographic markers for genealogical research in this part of Edgar County. The settlement of Nevins remains a distinct point in the southeast, while aviation is represented by Stewart Airport just south of the main city limits. Water features like Eads Lake and Gumms Lake break the rectilinear pattern of the section lines and farm roads that dominate the countryside.
