I assume that all of these maps underwent numerous revisions and that there were many other editions than the ones listed below.
Farrar, Charles A. J. and Marshall M. Tidd, Farrar's map of northern Maine, Moosehead Lake and vicinity, Sebec Lake, and the headwaters of the Kennebec, Penobscot, and St. John Rivers, drawn expressly for "Farrar's Moosehead Lake and vicinity illustrated" from actual surveys, self-published, 1877. The 1881 edition of the Moosehead guidebook says "with a New and Correct Map," which is entitled: "Farrar's Map of Northern Maine/MOOSEHEAD LAKE and VICINITY/SENEC LAKE/and the headwaters of the/KENNEBEC PENOBSCOT and ST. JOHN RIVERS/ Drawn expressly for Farrar's Moosehead Lake and Vicinity Illustrated/from actual surveys By M. M. Tidd." The copyright date on that map is 1880. Another version of this map was published in 1889, presumably edited some, but perhaps merely with the date changed when Farrar switched to Lee and Shepard as publisher.
Farrar, Charles A. J. and Marshall M. Tidd, Farrar's map of the Rangeley Lakes region, and the sources of the Magalloway & Androscoggin rivers, drawn expressly for Farrar's illustrated guide, Farrar & Johnson, 1876.
Farrar, Charles A. J., Farrar's new map of the Rangeley Lakes Region and the headwaters of the Connecticut, Magalloway, Androscoggin, Sandy and Dead Rivers showing all railroad, state and steamboat routes, county and wood roads, hotels, camps and post offices, self-published, 1888. Obviously, this was the later edition on 2 above.
Farrar, Charles A. J., Farrar's new map of the Dead River region and the headwaters of the Connecticut, Magalloway, Androscoggin, Sandy and Dead Rivers, showing all railroad, stage and steamboat routes, county and wood roads, hotels, camps and post offices, self-published, 1899. This was evidently a still later edition of 2 and 3 above.
The 1889 Moosehead Guide advertises: "Farrar's Pocket Map of the Androscoggin Lakes Region . . . 22 x 26 inches . . ." and "Farrar's Pocket Map of Moosehead Lake and Vicinity and the North Maine Wilderness . . . 19 x 24." The Moosehead Lake maps are advertised as being "Printed on tough linene paper, and handsomely bound in cloth covers." The Androscoggin maps are advertised as being "Mounted on cloth, neatly folded, and bound in durable cloth covers."
