1893 Map of Casco Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Maritime defenses and navigation aids define the coastline of Casco Bay in this late nineteenth-century survey. The approach to Portland harbor is heavily protected by military installations including Fort Gorges, Fort Preble, and Fort Scammel, while a network of vital beacons including the historic Portland Head Light and the dual Cape Elizabeth Lights guide vessels toward the commercial docks. Along the northern shoreline, the Grand Trunk RR. runs through Falmouth, connecting the region's shipping interests to inland rail networks.
