1902 Map of Bucksport

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery for this coastal Maine region at the opening of the twentieth century, delineating the boundaries of Waldo, Penobscot, and Hancock counties. The maritime and industrial character of the era is evident in the numerous landings and coves, such as Smith Cove and Marsh Bay, which supported local commerce before modern highway systems dominated. In the southern portion of the map, the defensive works of Fort Knox stand opposite Bucksport, guarding the narrows of the river. Inland, the landscape is defined by granite extraction at the Quarry on Mt. Waldo and a network of small agricultural hubs like Arey Corner and Goodales Corner. Transportation is anchored by the Maine Central R.R. Bucksport Br. and the Prospect Ferry, which provided essential crossings between Prospect and the developing town of Bucksport.
