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.

Showing features of rivers was also important because people at that time travelled by river more than is done today.
