Important and early map of Maine published just a few short years before it became a state in 1820, when it was still a province of Massachusetts. The six county divisions shown reflect the area as it was in 1798, not including the counties of Kennebec and Oxford, which were added in 1799 and 1804. The map is filled with place-names, primarily in the southern portion of the state, including Cape Neddick, Portland and Casco Bay, Monhegan Island, Bangor, Sebago and Moosehead lakes.
