Water Storage Commission Maps and Plans
- The Water Storage commission was created in 1909 by P.L. 212 and was charged with collecting information relating to the water power of the State, the flow of rivers, and their drainage areas. It was also empowered to improve the natural storage areas of the State and create new storage. The Governor was the chair of the Commission, which included the Land Agent and three other appointed members. The Commission was abolished and the records and functions were absorbed by the newly established Public Utilities Commission in 1913 by P.L 130. In 1919 the Water Power Commission was established and the functions transferred to that body, before being returned again to the Water Resources Division of the Public Utilities Commission. These maps and plans show water power facilities and water storage areas along many of Maine's rivers. They primarily range in date from 1909-1913 and 1919-1925.
BMC 45--Le Nouveau Continent Figure dans la Mappemonde de Juan de la Cosa en 1500.
- This 1834 atlas was issued as part of Humboldt and Bonpland’s Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du Nouveau Continent fait en 1799, 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803 et 1804 (Paris, 1808-1834), which was published in over thirty volumes over several decades. Included in the atlas is this first printing of a manuscript map made by Spanish conquistador, cartographer, and explorer Juan de la Cosa (ca. 1460-1509), who sailed with the first three voyages of Columbus and was the owner of the Santa María. This chart (XXXIII) incorporates lands discovered in America up to 1500 during expeditions by Spanish, Portuguese, and English expeditions to America. Juan de la Cosa’s mappa mundi is believed to be the earliest extant map showing any part of the continent of North America.
