The flag is white, with a circular seal in black lines. It consists of a spruce tree, overlain by a roll of parchment, in which is written "City of" and "The Paper City". Between these words is black bar bearing the word PARCHMENT. The county name and date of establishment are written around the perimeter, and a ring of small stars surrounds all.
