2021 Map of Biddeford

About this map

Factory Island and Springs Island sit at the heart of the Saco River, marking the industrial and civic center where Saco and Biddeford meet. This coastal portrait illustrates the dense urban grid of the twin cities, reaching from Five Points out to the sprawling marshes of the Great Heath. The landscape is a mix of established residential neighborhoods and significant institutions, including the University of New England and several large burial grounds such as Laurel Hill Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. Along the Atlantic shoreline, the character shifts to a string of coastal settlements and beaches. From the rocky points at Cape Porpoise and Fortunes Rocks to the sandy reaches of Goose Rocks Beach and Ferry Beach, the map captures the transition from the river-driven economy of the interior to the seasonal and maritime life of the York County coast.
