1875 Atlas of Penobscot County, Maine

First published in 1875 by Comstock & Cline of New York, from surveys and records compiled under the superintendence of W. A. Sherman, this atlas records Penobscot County, Maine at the height of the lumbering era. It is reproduced here as a complete, unabridged color facsimile of the copy in the Maine State Archives — every map sheet, table, and directory page of the original, with nothing omitted.

The atlas contains a detailed map of every town in the county, from Alton and Argyle to Winn and Woodville, with landowner names marked on the township maps — Bangor, Brewer, Hampden, Orrington, Dexter, Corinna, Newport, Lincoln, Patten, Springfield, Mattawamkeag, and dozens more. Large village plans show street- and lot-level detail for Bangor City, Brewer, Orono, Old Town and Milford, Dexter, Hampden, and smaller settlements including Six Mile Falls, Great Works, Kenduskeag, Upper Stillwater, and Eddington Bend. Also included are a map of Mount Hope Cemetery, an outline map of Penobscot County, an 1875 township map of the State of Maine, an 1874 map of the United States, tables of air-line distances, population, and settlement dates, and the original Bangor Business Department — a letterpress directory of the merchants and professional men who patronized the work.

With resident names on every town map, this atlas lets you locate an ancestor's farm, trace early landownership, or research the history of a specific village lot. An essential reference for genealogists, house historians, and collectors of Maine history.
