About this map

The Little Androscoggin River carves a central path through this Oxford County landscape, creating notable landmarks like Snow Falls Gorge and Bisco Falls as it flows south. Settlement is concentrated in the village of West Paris, with outlying hamlets including South Woodstock, North Paris, and Trap Corner connected by a network of rural roads such as Tuelltown Rd and Paris Hill Rd.

Genealogists will find this particular survey remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Finnish Cem, Bacon Paine Cem, and the Fifield Day Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Whitman Mtn and Hedgehog Hill, while the local water system includes Moose Pond and North Pond. The map illustrates a rural Maine economy still structured around its river valleys and upland farms long after the initial settlement era.
