Montfermeil sometime between 1820-1866
I finally found a relatively decent map of Montfermeil in more or less canon era! This is part of a military atlas (I think) that you can check out [here], and it also has other towns like Montreuil-sur-mer (look for “62170 Montreuil”). Probably very useful for fanfics too! 😀 At least if you have any need to have the characters go anywhere outside of the big cities.
I might still keep looking for even better maps but this is way more than I’ve found before 😀 You can also see the shape of the land which Hugo describes in the Brick (2.3.1: The Water Question At Montfermeil):
Montfermeil is situated between Livry and Chelles, on the southern edge of that lofty table-land which separates the Ourcq from the Marne. (…) it was a peaceful and charming place, which was not on the road to anywhere: there people lived, and cheaply, that peasant rustic life which is so bounteous and so easy; only, water was rare there, on account of the elevation of the plateau.
MORE UNDER THE CUT BECAUSE THIS TURNED OUT A BIT LONG (surprising nobody who knows me)
