368 village maps now available!

368 village maps – many of them the first ever made – appear in the margins of the 15 Maine county wall maps of 1856 – 1860. (Click here to view all of our Town & Village maps made from the Maine county wall maps).
We have “chopped up” all the wall maps to make 368 village maps like this example.
The special appeal is the names and locations of home and business sites.
For example, There are 30 village detail maps (and 11 pictures) on the Waldo County map.
The Rockport Village map measures about 8×11 (after we added the margins).
The added Business Directory increased the appeal of the wall map in 1859 and is fun to read today
It is assumed that these men paid to have their names printed on the Business Directory map in 1859.
These 1859 maps of may be the oldest maps to label houses and businesses in Waldo County’s towns and villages.
Here is another example of a village map.
Branch Mills straddles two towns as shown on the map: China and Palermo.
Again, there are 368 Maine village maps like these examples on our web site.
