District of Maine map, 1795
Item 9166 info
Maine Historical Society
This map promoted the separation of Maine from Massachusetts, showing the state as an independent and politically distinct Maine. Osgood Carleton (1741-1816) was a well-known cartographer, and this is the first map of Maine created from accurate surveys— but only on the coast—thus inland and Northern regions continue to be erroneous and vague.
