1893 Map of Casco Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Casco Bay reveals a coastline defined by a complex network of sounds, islands, and maritime defenses during the late nineteenth century. The bustling harbor at Portland is protected by a series of fortifications, including Fort Gorges and Fort Scammel, while the southern approaches are guided by the Portland Head Light and the dual Cape Elizabeth Lights. Inland, the Grand Trunk RR skirts the shore near Falmouth Foreside, marking the era's critical transportation link between the Atlantic and the interior.
