1920 Map of York

About this map

The rocky Maine coastline between Ogunquit and the U S Navy Yard defines this coastal survey, documented shortly after the First World War. The landscape is a network of maritime navigation and early transportation, featuring prominent landmarks like Whaleback LH and the remote Boon Island LH. Inland, the terrain rises toward Mt Agamenticus and the York Woods, while the Atlantic Shore Electric Railway and the Boston and Maine Railroad cut through the countryside, signaling the era's expanding reach. Local life is anchored by small schoolhouses such as the Agamenticus School and Lincoln School, along with the Brixham Grange Hall. The intricate tidal waters of the York River and Spruce Creek are shown in detail, alongside coastal settlements like York Beach and Kittery Point before the modern sprawl of the later twentieth century altered these historic village cores.
