2024 Map of Biddeford Pool

About this map

Biddeford Pool anchors this coastal landscape where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean in a complex network of peninsulas, islands, and tidal basins. The sheltered waters of The Pool and Wood Island Harbor define the local geography, protected by the natural breakwater of Fletcher Neck. Cultural landmarks like the Biddeford Pool Cem and Fort Hill offer points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the sprawling Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge preserves significant portions of the tidal marshes near Hills Beach and Fortunes Rocks. Off the coast, a constellation of islands including Wood Island, Stage Island, and Eagle Island transitions into hazardous ledges like Ram Island Ledge and Negro Island Ledge, illustrating the maritime character of this York County shoreline.
