1967 Map of West Paris

About this map

West Paris serves as the focal point of this Oxford County landscape, where the Little Androscoggin River and the Grand Trunk railroad corridor dictate the valley's settlement patterns. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the late 1960s is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits and the Quarry near Woodstock, while smaller clusters like South Woodstock, North Paris, and Snow Falls maintain their distinct identities. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through family-named landmarks and resting places such as Curtis Hill Cem, Tuell Cem, and Richardson Hollow Cem. The terrain is defined by significant elevations including Whitman Mtn, Stearns Hill, and Berry Ledge, which overlook water bodies like Moose Pond and the expansive Pennesseeewassee Lake to the southwest.
