2011 Map of Biddeford Pool

About this map

Biddeford Pool and the residential peninsula of Hills Beach anchor this coastal survey, where the Saco River estuary meets the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, protecting The Bay and the shallow waters of Great Pond from the open sea. Numerous rocky outposts and navigation hazards dot the entrance to Saco Bay, including Wood Island, Stage Island, and the treacherous Ram Island Ledge. On the mainland, Fletcher Neck and Fort Hill provide topographic high points overlooking a complex network of shoreline features like East Point and South Point. The map details the modern road network along Hills Beach Rd and Saint Martins Ln, illustrating the density of coastal development in York County at the start of the 2010s.
