This 1839 bird's-eye view presents all of Maine as a single landscape, seen from an imagined vantage point high above the ground. Maps of this kind were popular in the mid-19th century, when lithographers combined surveying with pictorial drawing to show coastlines, rivers, towns and roads in one image. Maine, a state since 1820, was then defined by its long coast, its timber and shipbuilding industries, and its network of rivers that carried logs and goods to the sea. Viewers today can read the map both as a geographic record and as a picture of how the region wanted to be seen.
