Still Image		Brunswick and Topsham, Map #12 Maine Historical Society, Still Image This is one of a collection of maps surveyed for the Pejepscot Proprietors to show boundaries and land ownership in the areas of what are now known as Brunswick and Topsham, Maine. Scale [1:35,640] 4.5 furlongs = 1 inch. During the years of the Pejepscot proprietors' efforts to settle their holdings, three of the Indian wars were fought: the fourth or Lovewell's War, 1722-1726; the fifth or King George's War, 1744-1748; the sixth or French and Indian War, 1754-1759. These conflicts delayed settlement of the Pejepscot Company's land, and their history is reflected in the documents in this collection.

Map		Plan of rivers of Saco and Kennebunk with sea coasts between them, 1731, Map #75 Maine Historical Society, Map This early manuscript map shows a mill and river features along the Saco and Kennebunk rivers. Scale [1:63360] 1 inch = 1 mile. This map is part of the Pejepscot Proprietors' records. Map # 75 probably assigned later by John McKeen, Clerk to the Company. Early maps of the region now known as Maine often showed the location of mills. Mills which ground flour, or sawmills which processed building materials were the first industries to be established in these wilderness areas. Showing features of rivers was also important because people at that time travelled by river more than is done today.
