1916 Map of Casco Bay

About this map

Coastal Maine's strategic maritime landscape is defined by the heavy fortification of Portland harbor and the surrounding islands during the early twentieth century. This survey details a comprehensive network of coastal defense installations, including Fort McKinley on Great Diamond Island, Fort Williams at Portland Head, and Fort Preble on the mainland. These military sites, alongside the Quarantine Station and Marine Hospital, illustrate the critical role of Casco Bay as both a primary commercial gateway and a fortified naval perimeter.
