A map of the New England coast, with the towns of Kennebunk, Biddeford, and Wells marked along the southern shore of Maine, offers a view of a stretch of shoreline that was settled early and shaped by fishing, shipbuilding, and coastal trade. The three towns sit close together between the Piscataqua River and Portland, and their harbors and river mouths made them natural centers for commerce long before the rail lines arrived. Maps like this one were used by mariners, merchants, and land speculators, so they reveal as much about how the coast was understood and claimed as they do about its geography. Look closely at the coastline, the inland rivers, and the placement of the settlements to see how the region was organized around water.
