1902 Map of Bucksport

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

The Penobscot River serves as the central artery of this early twentieth-century coastal Maine landscape, dividing the riverfront communities of Winterport and Bucksport. This survey captures the region just as the local economy balanced between established maritime trade and industrial growth. Evidence of the granite industry is marked at the Quarry near Mt. Waldo, while the rail network is clearly defined by the Bangor and Aroostook R.R. on the west bank and the Maine Central R.R. Bucksport Br. to the east. At the river's narrows, Fort Knox stands as a prominent defensive landmark overlooking the Prospect Ferry crossing. Further inland, the map details a dense network of family-named corners and rural settlements like Ellingwoods Corner and Goodales Corner, revealing the tight-knit settlement patterns of Waldo and Hancock counties during this era.
