1893 Map of Boothbay

About this map

Boothbay Harbor serves as the central focal point of this coastal survey, reflecting a maritime economy defined by intricate peninsulas and sheltered coves in the late nineteenth century. The jagged coastline of the Pemaquid Neck and the islands surrounding Southport are detailed with remarkable precision, showing the early infrastructure of lighthouses including Burnt Id Light and Hendrick Head Light. On the western edge, the Maine Central RR cuts across the landscape near Riggsville, providing a vital terrestrial link to the interior.
