Celebrating Maine's wildlife and outdoor activities.

This is a 1969 J.G. Shelley and Louis Koster pictorial wall map of Maine. Shelley and Koster's work celebrates Maine's iconic wildlife and the many outdoor activities one can enjoy while in Maine.
A Closer Look
Pictorial vignettes and illustrations fill the state. Ducks, deer, pheasants, loons, woodcocks, fish, and moose appear alongside fishermen, hunters, and skiers. Vignettes highlight the University of Maine, Colby College, Bowdoin College, and the state house in Augusta. Acadia National Park, White Mountain National Forest, and Mt. Katahdin also merit vignettes. Maine's logging industry is also celebrated. A pictorial border features large illustrations of a deer, a fish, a chickadee, and two grouse.
