1892 Map of Freeport

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

Casco Bay and its intricate network of islands and inlets dominate the southern half of this coastal Maine landscape, surveyed just before the turn of the century. The maritime economy is evident in the numerous landings along the Harraseeket River and Maquoit Bay, including Mast Landing and Porter Landing. Inland, the topography is defined by the prominent Bradbury Mt and the transition from the Androscoggin River valley down to the shoreline. The region’s late 19th-century industrial and transport backbone is clearly traced through the routes of the Maine Central Railroad and the Grand Trunk Railroad, which intersect at Yarmouth Junction. This map captures a specific era of coastal settlement, where traditional water-bound commerce at places like South Freeport met the growing reach of the iron rail, connecting small hubs like North Pownal and Durham to the wider Atlantic corridor.
