2017 Map of Paris West

About this map

The Middle Fork Salt River and Elk Fork Salt River converge in this section of Monroe County, shaping a landscape defined by deep drainages and rural farmstead crossings. Near the western edge of Paris, the street grid extends to N Main St and Cleveland St, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with legacy burial grounds. These family and community sites, including McKinney Cem and Union Cem, are often situated near creek bluffs or tucked along county roads like Co RD 956. The historic Union Bridge provides a concrete point of interest for those tracing the development of local infrastructure along the river forks. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Fowkes sits near Bakers Pond, serving as a quiet waypoint in the agricultural uplands between the larger river valleys.
