About the Item
Antique Map of Maine – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This antique map of Maine was published by Rand, McNally
Co. around 1888. It depicts the Pine Tree State in great detail, showing its counties, towns, rivers, and transportation routes at a time when railroads were beginning to connect its inland towns with the coastal ports.
The map extends from the Atlantic Ocean coastline, including Portland, Bangor, Augusta, and Rockland, to the inland lakes and forests near the Canadian border. The state’s rugged eastern coastline is finely engraved with wave patterns, highlighting its many bays and harbors. Numerous small islands off the coast are also carefully shown.
Railroads are marked in red and blue, tracing lines from Portland and Augusta northward and eastward, linking Maine’s ports with Boston and the greater New England railway system. These routes illustrate Maine’s role in the lumber, fishing, and shipping industries of the late 19th century. The map also captures Maine’s expansive rural geography, with many small towns and settlements scattered across its forested interior.
Rand McNally’s precision and clarity make this both a functional reference and a decorative historical map. It appeals to collectors of New England cartography, maritime history, and late 19th-century American maps.
