1893 Map of Boothbay

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The mid-coast Maine archipelago is defined here by its complex tidal rivers and deep-water harbors as they appeared in the early 1890s. The Maine Central RR cuts across the northern edge near South Newcastle, while the rest of the landscape remains deeply connected to the sea. Coastal life centers on the bustling maritime hub of Boothbay Harbor and the numerous inlets like Christmas Cove and Ebenecook Harbor. These waters supported a diverse economy of fishing, shipping, and resource extraction, evidenced by a Quarry on Oak Id. and the strategic placement of navigational aids including Pemaquid Pt. Light, Burnt Id. Light, and Hendricks Head Light. Inland, the high ground of Cushman Hill and Keniston Hill overlooks the braided channels of the Sheepscot River and Damariscotta River, which separate the long peninsulas and islands like Barters Island from the mainland.
