Description: Did you know there was a gold mine in Guilford? Did you know there was a silver mine in Saco? See photo of the "Maine 1880-1881 Mining" map for location. Did you know 23% of all the wood cut in Maine in 1872 was driven to sawmills down the Penobscot River and that 12% was taken to mills in Portland on the railroad? These and other fascinating statistics are provided in this atlas. This isn't just about changes in population density or the evolution of congressional districts! There are maps showing early explorations, Indian tribes, lighthouses, railroads, agriculture, forestry, mining, quarrying, land ownership, energy sources....etc. and much more! There are 69 plates, and footnotes and references are provided for each one. This 48 year old paperback first edition is in good, used condition. The corners are turned up a bit from having been thumbed through, but it's just that kind of book. You can't help flipping from one fascinating map to another. Please see photos. 9
