Miniature of Plan Book Maps 
Plan Book Maps 
The maps prepared by the Massachusetts and Maine Land Offices, or accumulated by those agencies, represent various surveys and lottings of boundary lines since the 1700s. From time to time, the Maine Legislature authorized funds for copying of early maps of Maine held by Massachusetts for the benefit of the Land Office. These maps show the division of lands among settlers and establishment of boundary lines between Massachusetts, Maine, and Canada. Includes topographical descriptions and survey notes on the quality and quantity of timber and land.
Miniature of Field Notes
Field Notes
These field notes were written by surveyors who described land that had previously been unsettled. The field notes give information about boundary lines, forest growth, topography, distances, and related information. They frequently contain information about hardships or unusual occurrences encountered during the survey. Many of the field notes were used to create maps of the areas surveyed.
