1906 Map of Rockland

About this map

Rockland and the surrounding Midcoast harbors of Camden and Rockport are depicted in this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its maritime connections and emerging inland industry. The coastal economy is evidenced by the detailed Steamboat Route tracks crossing Penobscot Bay and the specialized Electric Route running north from the city. Inland, the importance of water power is marked at Wattons Mill and along the Megunticook River, while the numerous ponds like Chickawaukie Pond and Megunticook Lake dominate the terrain between the heights of Mt Megunticook and Ragged Mtn.
