An interesting map details the disputed boundary between the U.S. and Canada in northern Maine and shows early property grants. The northern boundary was finalized by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842. The map does not show counties, but it names Mt. Katahdin, Sugarloaf Mt., Portland, Machias, and other points of reference within the new state. Published in the 1838 Congressional report.
