1893 Map of York

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

Mt Agamenticus rises as the primary landmark on this coastal Maine landscape, providing a topographical anchor for the surrounding seafaring communities of York and Kittery. In the late 19th century, the region's economy and social structure were defined by its relationship with the water, from the industrial presence of the Navy Yard on Seavy's Island to the growing seasonal appeal of York Beach. The York Beach and Railroad illustrates the early infrastructure connecting these shoreline settlements, while numerous navigation aids like The Nubble Light and Whale's Back Light guarded the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor.
