1906 Map of Rockland

About this map

Rockland and the mid-coast harbors of Camden and Rockport dominate this coastal survey, which reveals a landscape defined by granite heights and a busy maritime economy. The map documents the early twentieth-century infrastructure of the Penobscot Bay shoreline, where steamboat routes intersect with the Maine Central RR and the local Electric RR. Settlement patterns are visible in the numerous crossroads communities such as Blackinton Corners, Simonton Corners, and Willis Corners, alongside the coastal villages of Owlshead and Sprucehead.
