1956 Map of Biddeford Pool

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Biddeford Pool and the protective arm of Fletcher Neck define this coastal landscape, where the sea meets a well-established summer colony and historic maritime community. The village is centered around The Pool and Wood Island Harbor, serving as a focal point for local navigation and coastal life. Notable institutions like the Marie Joseph Academy and the Abenakee Golf Club appear alongside family-oriented landmarks such as Hills Beach and Fortunes Rocks. Offshore, a complex of islands including Stage Island, Wood Island with its Lighthouse, and Eagle Island guard the entrance to Saco Bay. This survey includes 1970 photorevisions, indicated in purple, showing the post-war evolution of the shoreline and roads such as Beach Road and Main Street as the area transitioned into a more modern residential and recreational retreat.
