1891 Map of Kennebunk

USGS Topo · Published 1891

About this map

The coastal landscapes and industrial tidewaters of York County appear here in detail just before the turn of the century. The dual paths of the Boston and Maine Railroad Eastern Division and the Western Division dominate the inland geography, creating a vital transportation corridor connecting hubs like Wells Depot and North Berwick. Along the shoreline, the map identifies established maritime and resort locations such as Kennebunk Landing, Kennebunk Beach, and the long stretches of Wells Beach and Ogunquit Beach. In the interior, smaller mill-driven communities and water features like Littlefield's Mills and Alewives Pond illustrate the late-19th-century reliance on local waterways. The intricate depiction of the Mousam River and Kennebunk River shows how these drainage systems dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks before modern coastal development transformed the region.
