2011 Map of Cape Elizabeth

About this map

Portland Head Lighthouse stands as a sentinel at the northern edge of this coastal survey, overlooking the waters of Casco Bay. The landscape of Cape Elizabeth is defined by its irregular, rocky shoreline and a network of residential enclaves like Delano Park, Pond Cove, and Shore Acres. Local geography is shaped by water, from the tidal influence of the Spurwink River to interior bodies such as Great Pond and Richards Pond. The map captures the maritime infrastructure essential to this stretch of the Atlantic, including the Cape Elizabeth Light and the Trundy Point Lookout Tower. Farther south, Richmond Island sits off the coast near Watts Point, surrounded by numerous named hazards like The Sisters and Old Anthony Rock, reflecting the area's long history as a critical navigational waypoint for Maine shipping.
