Littlefield's Mills and the diverse river systems of York County dominate this late-19th-century landscape, illustrating the vital link between coastal commerce and inland industry. The map captures a transition as the traditional power of the Mousam River and Kennebunk River met the expanding reach of the Boston and Maine Railroad Eastern Division and its Western Division. These rail corridors funneled life through inland hubs like Wells Depot and West Kennebunk, while established maritime sites such as Kennebunk Landing remained anchored to the tidal waters.
