This map, attributed by some to John Scott, probably dates between 1653 and 1675. It shows the extent of settlement between the Merrimack and Kennebec rivers before the nearly total abandonment of those to the east of York during King Philip’s War.

Although Pemaquid was occupied by the English at this time, the area east of the Kennebec is omitted, possibly because it was considered French territory.
