1893 Map of Boothbay

Transport and industry are visible in the terrestrial landscape through the Maine Central railroad tracks at Montsweag and a Quarry located along the river. Small coastal settlements such as South Bristol, Westport, and Southport are connected by seasonal routes and the Westport Bridge. The map captures a pre-modern era where water-based travel was as central as the road network, evident in the detailed labeling of every cove and island, from Isle of Springs to the narrow passage known as The Gut.
