About this map

York Village and its surrounding coastal settlements anchor this study of the Maine shoreline, where historical land divisions and memorial sites are meticulously recorded. The landscape transitions from the heights of Mt Agamenticus down through several inland villages like Scotland, Cider Hill, and Agamenticus Village toward the Atlantic. A dense concentration of commemorative sites is found in the village center, including the First Parish Cem and the Revolutionary War Memorial Cem, as well as memorials for the Civil War and both World Wars.

The map reveals a fascinating pattern of historical land ownership through the marking of numerous family lots, such as the Jellison Lot, Spinney Lot, and Junkins Lot. These tracts, along with the network of creeks like Cider Hill Creek and Dolly Gordon Brook, illustrate the long-standing agricultural and residential partitions of York County. Along the coast, York Harbor and Cape Neddick show the developed character of this storied maritime region.
