About this map

The coastal transition from Maine to New Hampshire is documented here during the late 1910s, revealing a landscape defined by maritime industry and early twentieth-century travel patterns. The shoreline is densely populated with historical infrastructure, from the Navy Yard and Coast Guard Sta near Kittery Point to the prominent Whaleback Lh guarding the entrance to the harbor. Further inland, the Post Road and an Electric Railway connect established centers like York Village and York Harbor, showing the influence of the rail-and-road network on local development. Numerous small schools, such as the Southside School and Lincoln School, serve the growing communities of York Corner and Scotland. The coastal geography is finely detailed, featuring named points and coves like Bald Head Cliff and Perkins Cove that have long anchored the region's fishing and tourism heritage.
