1892 Map of Augusta

About this map

The Kennebec River corridor defines this late nineteenth-century survey, anchoring the industrial and civic hubs of Augusta and Hallowell. While the river serves as the eastern artery, the interior is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and ponds, including the expansive Cobbosseecontee Pond and Maranacook Lake. Transportation in this era is heavily reliant on the Maine Central and Central Maine Railroad, which connect established villages like Readfield Depot and Belgrade to the state capital.
