Petroglyphs
There are two places in the state of Maine where petroglyphs exist. At least, there are two known places. There may be more that no one has discovered yet. The two locations in Maine are both by water. Many of the images chiseled into the rock are of birth and canoes and people in canoes.
They are difficult spots to locate and difficult to navigate your way through the woods to get to them. It's a fairly well-kept secret. People don't want them being defaced.
Not being a wordsmith, it's difficult for me to explain what it was like to be there by myself in the Autumn (hunting season=dumb). I got the impression that the glyphs on the river were mostly about journies. And not just physical journies.

EECK...I missed your site before!
There are some of these in the Susquehanna River near Columbia, PA. Really neat to just sit there and run your hands over them thinking..
Isn't that the truth.
Hmmm . . . interesting how they're on the river in this neck of the woods. Had significance. What sort of glyphs were they? What is depicted?
