About this map

Cape Elizabeth presents a complex maritime landscape where the Atlantic meets the rocky Maine shoreline. The residential developments of Delano Park and Pond Cove sit alongside conservation and recreation areas like Elizabeth Park and the Robinson Woods Trail. This modern survey reveals how the local geography is defined by its relation to the sea, featuring a dense network of coves such as Smugglers Cove and Maxwell Cove, and numerous offshore hazards like Witch Rock and Old Anthony Rock.

Cultural and community focal points are grounded in sites like the Cape Elizabeth Church/Cem and Fort Point. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the suburban edge of South Portland to the more open coastal reaches of Richmond Island Harbor. Inland, the presence of Great Pond and the winding Spurwink River underscores the area's varied hydrology and the persistence of its natural landmarks.
