Understanding the Development of the State of Maine from Maps and Historic Timelines of the State of Maine

Exploring the Development of Maine
through Maps and Historic Timelines

Banners will be developed for the ten panels on top of the bedsides of a 67 Chevy C-10 Pickup. This pickup was the last truck my father, Keith M. Thompson, purchased when he farmed with his father, Arthur L. Thompson and his two brothers, Colby Thompson and Curtis Thompson. A frame was created for each bedside that include two hinged panels. Three banners will present map images of the State of Maine from 1615 to present day.Online Historic Timelines will provide context for each map. Students and people from other age ranges can explore the development over time of towns as they developed along the rivers of Maine. Primary rivers include Sagadahoc River, Kennebec River, Androscoggin River, and the Penobscot River.
