Maine Prairie, California

Maine Prairie appears on the Dozier U.S. Geological Survey Map.

During the American Civil War, it was a township large enough to support a California Militia Company, which was called the Maine Prairie Rifles.

[1] For nearly the town's entire existence, it was a farming community, based around the growth and sale of grain and produce.

[7] The town was close to obtaining its own rail connection through the proposed "Maine Prairie and Cache Creek Narrow Gauge Railroad", which was supported by many farmers, ranchers, and landowners in the area, but did not have the financial backing to get started.

[9] It was popular enough that former President Benjamin Harrison, and Supreme Court Justice Joseph McKenna took part in a hunting expedition that took place in Maine Prairie.
