Soft cover. 1st Edition. Good. Light soiling, light foxing. Some wear along edge, including small area of loss at top-left corner. Size 23.5 x 13.5 Inches. A scarce c. 1885 map of Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire, printed by the Rand Avery Supply Co. for the Boston and Lowell Railroad. It demonstrates the importance of the railroad as the main means by which well-heeled Bostonians of the time escaped the city in summer months to the cooler, more scenic environs of New Hampshire. A Closer Look Two maps are displayed on the sheet: a larger map of Lake Winnipesaukee and environs at top and a smaller map of Lake Sunapee at bottom. Both maps highlight the route of the Boston and Lowell Railroad, which was incorporated into the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1887. Both maps indicate train stations, towns, post offices, roads, waterways, mountains, steamship routes, and town boundaries. The Lady of the Lake The steamship indicated here is the Lady of the Lake , a paddlesteamer launched in the late 1840s. By the time of this map's publication, the more modern Mount Washington , built by the Boston and Maine, was also operating on Lake Winnipesaukee, an early indication of their intention to expand operations to the Lakes Region. Although the Boston and Lowell linked up with the Boston and Maine in places, the absence of the Mount Washington reflects their somewhat competitive relationship. In 1893, the Lady of the Lake was taken out of service and stripped for parts before being intentionally sunk (at a site now popular with divers). The Boston and Lowell Railroad The Boston and Lowell began operation in 1835, the first railroad chartered in New England for passenger transportation. It reached Nashua, New Hampshire, by 1847 and, by the late 19th century, was a preferred means of carrying seasonal tourists to New Hampshire. As seen here, the Boston and Lowell ran north-south along the west side of Lake Winnipesaukee and the southern side of Lake Sunapee. Along with its various connections, it allowed easy access by train for visitors (especially Bostonians) to Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Sunapee, as well as to the White Mountains and Montreal beyond. The Boston and Lowell was leased by the Boston and Maine Railroad beginning in 1887, only two years after this map was published. Publication History and Census These maps appeared in the 1885 (first) edition of Summer Saunterings: a guide to pleasant places among the mountains, lakes and valleys of New Hampshire, Vermont and Canada , published by the Boston and Lowell Railroad. However, in that work and in a subsequent edition the following year, they were published on separate pages. The colored lines in the margins suggest that this may be a proof print, used by the printer (chromist) to ensure the color plates had lined up correctly; in any event, it is an especially rare presentation of these maps.…

Good. Wear along original fold lines. Creasing along left side. Closed edge tear just entering border professionally repaired on verso. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Very small margins trimmed almost to border. Size 15 x 19 Inches. A scarce 1882 map of the Eastern Railroad and its connections in New England and Eastern Canada, printed by Rand Avery. At the time of publication, rail infrastructure was being built at an incredible pace, facilitating a burgeoning tourist industry by allowing people from coastal cities to access the White Mountains and Maine. A Closer Look Covering from Quebec to New York City and as far east as Nova Scotia, the map highlights the route of the Eastern Railroad between Boston and Portland, Maine, with the all-important branch line to North Conway, New Hampshire (formerly the Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad, which was leased to the Eastern in 1870). Connecting rail lines are also traced in bold black lines and labelled, including the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, which cut a path through the White Mountains via Crawford Notch. Lines not directly connecting with the Eastern are traced in thinner black lines and not labeled. Cities and towns, ferry lines, waterways, and mountains are indicated. A text block at bottom promotes the line and its connections, including to the summer resorts of the White Mountains and destinations in Maine, such as Mt. Desert Island, the Rangeley Lakes, and Moosehead Lake. The Eastern Railroad Chartered in April 1836, the Eastern Railroad was one of several that emerged during the 1830s Massachusetts railway boom. The railroad's main competition was the Boston and Maine Railroad (drawn but not labelled here, either due to space constraints or as a slight), into which it was eventually subsumed. Whereas the Boston and Maine traced an inland route between the Boston area and Portland, Maine, through Andover and Haverhill, the Eastern followed the coastline, starting in East Boston (with ferry service to Boston proper, which became a significant disincentive to potential customers) and reaching coastal cities and towns such as Lynn, Salem, Beverly, and Newburyport. The Eastern also operated branch lines to Rockport on Cape Ann, Essex, Lowell, and Wakefield, among others (some allowing for connections with the 'Boston and Maine' despite their being competitors). In 1840, the Eastern leased the 'Eastern Railroad of New Hampshire' to establish service to Portsmouth, and in 1843, entered into an agreement with the 'Portland, Saco, and Portsmouth Railroad' (which it later leased and then bought outright), allowing for service between Boston and Portland, Maine, directly challenging the 'Boston and Maine'. In 1855, the Eastern leased the 'Grand Junction Railroad'. This short line swung around from East Boston to Somerville, including a railroad bridge and a terminal in Boston (near today's North Station), allowing the Eastern to provide direct service into the city. The Eastern held its own for several decades, but eventually was forced to lease to its rival, the 'Boston and Maine', in 1883. In 1890, the 'Eastern Railroad' was dissolved, though the 'Boston and Maine' maintained the coastal service. In 1893, the 'Boston and Maine' opened North Station in Boston, a meeting point of its own original lines and several it had leased, including the Eastern. This move cemented its dominance of New England railways north of Boston. Much of the former Eastern Railroad operates today as the Newburyport/Rockport Line of the MBTA's Commuter Rail service. Publication History and Census This map was printed by printed by Rand, Avery, and Co. of Boston. It is undated but can be dated to 1882 from its parent publication, the 1882 edition of Lucius Hubbard's Hubbard's Guide to Moosehead Lake and Northern Maine . Several maps with this title and printed by Rand Avery appeared in Hubbard's Guide and similar publications in the 1880s. The OCLC notes maps.…

Very good. Size 25.25 x 17.75 Inches. This is a c. 1915 Rand Avery Supply Company railroad map of Maine highlighting the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. Covering from Belfast to Canada, a solid red line traces the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad's route. Cities, towns, and villages along the Bangor and Aroostook's route are labeled, including the then closed Katahdin Iron Works. Thin black lines follow the routes of the Maine Central Railroad, the Canadian Pacific Railroad, with a thicker black line emphasizing the Canadian Government Railway skirting Maine's northern and eastern borders. Lakes of varying size appear throughout, including Moosehead Lake near the left border. An inset map in the lower right presents the Maine Central Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad lines between Boston and Bangor. Dating the Map While undated, we are able to place the publication of this piece as c. 1915 because the bridge across the St. John's River connecting Van Buren, Maine, and St. Leonard, New Brunswick, did not open until 1915. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad operated in Maine from 1891 until 2003. Incorporated in 1891, the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad emerged from a merger of the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad and the Bangor and Katahdin Iron Works Railway. The railroad steadily expanded during the early 20th century, eventually connecting with the Canadian Government Railways at St. Leonard, New Brunswick, in 1915. In 1895, the Bangor and Aroostook began using heated box cars to haul potatoes, which they continued to do through the 1960s. Even in the post-World War II era, potatoes provided fifty percent of the railroad's income. However, it was not the advent of the interstate highway system that ended the railroad's relationship with potato farmers. During the winter of 1969 - 1970, due to systemic interchange issues caused by the Penn Central Transportation Company (another railroad), a large portion of the potato crop froze in the rail cars after the heaters ran out of fuel. This disaster caused several potato farms to go out of business and those that survived never again used rail transport. Other sources of income for the railroad included inbound chemicals and outbound paper from paper mills, transporting ammunition to Searsport during World War II, and taking coal and aircraft fuel to Loring Air Force Base during the Cold War. The railroad operated a morning and afternoon passenger train into the 1950s. The morning train, the Potatoland , made local stops from Bangor to Van Buren and St. Francis. The afternoon train, the Aroostook Flyer , only stopped at the most popular stations between Bangor and Van Buren. The Bangor and Aroostook was sold to Iron Road Railways in 1995, and after that company went bankrupt in 2002, Rail World acquired the line and incorporated them into the newly formed Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic Railway. The railway changed hands a few more times before being sold to the Canadian Pacific in 2019. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Rand Avery Supply Company for the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad c. 1915. We note no other cataloged examples of this map.…
