2018 Map of Biddeford Pool

About this map

Biddeford Pool and the surrounding coastline of Saco Bay define this maritime landscape in the late 2010s. The geography is characterized by narrow barrier beaches and rocky islands that shelter The Pool from the open Atlantic Ocean. Settlements like Hills Beach and Fortunes Rocks are connected by coastal roads such as Ocean Ave, illustrating the modern residential layout of these historic summer communities. Offshore, an intricate network of hazards and navigational landmarks remains clearly charted, including Wood Island, Stage Island, and several ledges like Threetree Ledge and Whale Rock Ledge. The transition from the sandy expanse of Fortunes Rocks Beach to the tidal flats of the Town Thatch Bed highlights the diverse coastal ecology protected by the arm of Fletcher Neck.
