About this map

The Saco River serves as the prominent artery of this late 19th-century coastal landscape, anchoring the bustling industrial and residential centers of Biddeford and Saco. At this time, the Boston and Maine Railroad Eastern Division and Western Division converge at the northern end of the sheet, illustrating the critical rail connections that fueled the regional economy. Along the shoreline, the map reveals a complex network of coastal landmarks and small settlements, from the maritime hub of Kennebunkport to the sheltered waters of Biddeford Pool.
