Scope and Content

MAP OF CAMDEN SHOWING DIVISION LINE. This colour glossy print appears to be from a digital scan. It is undated but was clearly prouced about 1891. It shows a line of division between the part that stayed Camden and the part that became Rockport in that year. However, it does not show the names of the two towns, though it does show "West Rockport Village" of today as "West Camden." As well, the Chestnut Street Cemetery and the lime quarries both appear in what is today Camden rather than in Rockport. These factors suggest that this may be an early draft of the then-proposed division of the original Town of Camden.
