(Maine) Baker,
Nathan , Manuscript Map
of the Northern Portion of the District of Maine.
100x76 cm. n.p.: c.1818.An unknown manuscript map of northern Maine, drawn by
one of the earliest American settlers in the Madawaska region along the St.
John River. While the paper is still strong and the writing clear, there are
major areas gone at some fold junctions resulting from damage (most likely
deterioration from exposure to water) at a top corner when the map was folded.
Still present is a tipped-on extension to the Kennebec River. While the map
does not have extensive topographic detail, it is very diligent at showing the
rivers and lakes. Shows the area from the River St. Francois and the northern
end of the Androscoggin River in the south to the St. John River and many of
its branches in the north. Captain Baker came to the St. John River in 1817.
Sources differ as to whether his brother John followed shortly thereafter or
accompanied Nathan. After Nathan’s death in 1821, John became the leader of the
lumbering settlement which was established at the mouth of Meriumpticook Stream
(later Baker Brook) which is now in New Brunswick. The Bakers, in particular
John Baker, were key protaginists in the Maine/New Brunswick boundary dispute
by trying to provoke French inhabitants of the Madawaska region to reject
British authority. The authorship of the map is taken from a notation on the
reverse of the map “Nathan Baker’s Dist. Maine” Settlers’ maps of any area are
rarely available. This one, of northern Maine which was the subject of a long-running
dispute between the United States and Great Britain, is a fascinating survival. $12,500.00
