Book excerpt: In 1881, with Downeast Maine still in the age of sail, goods are shipped by schooner; people get around by boat, horse and wagon, stage, steamer, and canoe. Machias, Eastport, and Calais are international ports, with St. Croix riverfronts connected by rail. Coastal towns are humming with water-powered mills shipping lumber in schooners built by local shipyards. Along with fishing, farming, and guiding, men work in the lumberwoods, on river drives, and in tanneries. Sardine canneries abound, and quarries ship granite to markets near and far. Everyone who loves exploring Downeast Maine, maps, history, old deeds, and genealogy will enjoy using and perusing this remarkably detailed historic Atlas. Based on plans and surveys, the town, village, and lot maps capture a colorful time in Washington County's history, at the height of a 19th-century coastal economy. Compiled and published by George N. Colby in 1881, the original Atlas of Washington County was drawn in Machias, Maine, and printed in Philadelphia; only 300 copies were printed, now a collector's item. The Coastwise Geographic Edition includes all the archival maps arranged geographically for today's users, plus 40 period photos and captions, preface for historic context, excerpts from an 1881 gazetteer complementing Colby's town profiles, bibliography, and index of historic and current place names. In celebration of the new Downeast Maine National Heritage Area designation, Jane Crosen, Mapmaker is pleased to keep in print this important documentation of Washington County's historic cultural landscape. Quality paperback with dark blue fabric binding, printed in black & white on cream paper with color cover, 74 pages, 12"x 153⁄4".
