A CD ROM
reproduction of the remarkable 1862 Map of the State of Maine
H.F. Walling and
J. Chace, Jr. The
original map
was the first
complete road map of the state. In addition to every road, the
mapmakers located every house and business in Maine with a small dot. It
is a huge affair, measuring 5' x 5', and is not easily studied. This CD
makes the map easy to study for the first time. The publication is in a PDF file,
with "bookmarks" that let you navigate through the map easily.
Walling and Chace used the
1850s county
maps as the basis for this large state map, such as this
1860 map of
Somerset County.
