Maps
- The Maine State Archives has an impressive collection of more than 2,000 maps and plans. Dating from the 17th century to the present, the maps cover areas all over the State of Maine and beyond. From plan books of the Land Office showing the division of public lands to International Boundary Maps showing the border between the United States and Canada in the mid-20th century, this varied collection of maps is available for research. The Baxter Rare Map Collection contains some of the Archives’ finest cartographic holdings, including approximately 90 maps commissioned by James Phinney Baxter, an antiquarian from Portland, Maine. These maps are copies of original 17th and 18th-century maps from the United Kingdom and Europe. Another highlight is the extensive collection of railroad maps from the Public Utilities Commission, showing both current and now-obsolete railroads.
