About this map

York Harbor and its surrounding coastal settlements are documented here in detail, showing a landscape defined by tidal inlets and low-lying hills. The coastal village of York Beach and the inland junctions at York Corner and Scotland suggest a long-established pattern of maritime and agricultural life. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the many small burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including the Gowen Family Burial Ground 5, the Moulton Family Burying Ground, and the First Parish Cem.

Inland, the terrain rises toward Mt Agamenticus, where the water supply is managed at Chases Pond. The map also captures several private lots and family holdings like the Ramsdell Lot and Trafton Lot, reflecting traditional New England land divisions. Historic industrial remnants such as the Barrells Millpond and named infrastructure like Emerys Bridge illustrate the importance of water power and crossing points in the local economy.
