1893 Map of York

About this map

Mt Agamenticus and the surrounding high ground of York County dominate this coastal survey, offering a look at the Maine shoreline before the mid-century surge of modern development. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the York River and the complex salt marshes and tidal inlets around Kittery Point and Gerrish's Island. Maritime activity is the lifeblood of the region, evidenced by the strategic placement of The Nubble Light and Portsmouth Light, alongside the significant footprint of the Navy Yard on Seavy's Island.
