2018 Map of Biddeford

About this map

The Saco River serves as the focal point for this coastal Maine corridor, dividing the settlements of Saco and Biddeford as it flows toward Saco Bay. This late-decade survey details the industrial and residential core around Factory Island and Springs Island, where the river’s historical power supported urban development. Moving away from the dense streets of Five Points, the landscape transitions into a mix of rural intersections like Tea Kettle Corner and Tattle Corner, alongside sprawling marshlands such as the Great Heath and Round Swamps. The coastline is a continuous stretch of named beaches and points, from Kinney Shores in the north down to the rocky outcrops of Goose Rocks Beach and Cape Porpoise. Notable for genealogists are several established burial grounds including Laurel Hill Cem and Saint Marys Cem, as well as the coastal campus of the Univ of New England near Hills Beach.
