1898 Map of Kennebunk

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Littlefield's Mills and the diverse river systems of York County characterize this late 19th-century coastal landscape. The terrain is defined by the parallel paths of the Mousam River and the Kennebunk River, which supported early industrial activity at sites like Kennebunk Landing. The shoreline transition from the rocky points of Ogunquit to the sandy stretches of Wells Beach and Crescent Surf reveals a coastline beginning to draw seasonal visitors, while the interior remains deeply tied to rail commerce. The dual lines of the Boston and Maine R.R. Western Division and the Eastern Division create a complex network of stops, including Wells Depot and Elms, connecting these inland farming and mill communities to the Atlantic markets. Small settlements like Berwick Branch and North Kennebunkport illustrate the dispersed nature of Maine’s historic town structures before the modern consolidation of commerce.
