1898 Map of Kennebunk

About this map

Kennebunk and Wells sit at the heart of this coastal York County landscape, where the late nineteenth-century economy is defined by a dense network of river power and rail connections. The Mousam River and Kennebunk River wind toward the Atlantic Ocean, supporting inland industries like Littlefields Mills and downstream centers such as Kennebunk Landing. The shoreline is already developing as a destination, marked by the long stretches of Wells Beach and Ogunquit Beach, along with the seaside community of Kennebunk Beach. Further inland, the dual lines of the Boston and Maine Railroad Eastern Division and the Western Division create a series of transportation hubs at Wells Depot and North Berwick, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers between the coastal villages and the interior mill towns of Alfred and Sanford.
