About this map

Cape Elizabeth anchors this coastal survey, defined by its intricate shoreline of coves, ledges, and rocky points along Casco Bay. The landscape transitions from the residential neighborhoods of South Portland and Delano Park into the more open terrain surrounding Great Pond and Richards Pond. Significant local landmarks include Elizabeth Park and the Cape Elizabeth Church Cem, reflecting the area's established community roots.

The maritime character of the region is evident in the dense concentration of named coastal features, from the sheltered waters of Smugglers Cove and Boat Cove to the numerous offshore hazards like Jordan Reef, Trundy Reef, and Taylor Reef. The network of coastal roads, such as Shore Rd and Two Lights Rd, provides access to prominent headlands like Trundy Point and Peabbles Point, tracing the rugged edge of the Atlantic where the Spurwink River meets the sea.
