1943 Map of Parishville

About this map

Parishville and the surrounding townships of Stockholm and Hopkinton are defined by the winding course of the St Regis River in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a network of small agricultural and river-dependent settlements, where the river's descent is marked by the Allens Falls and the containment of the Allens Falls Reservoir. This era shows a community structured around a decentralized education system, evidenced by numerous district schoolhouses such as School No 1, Sch No 18, and School No 14 scattered along rural routes like Old Forge Road and Sullivan Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Fairview Cem, Union Cem, and Hillcrest Cem, which served the families of now-quiet locales like Southville and Beechertown.
