2014 Map of Freeport

About this map

Freeport and its surrounding coastal landings are defined by the intricate shoreline of Casco Bay, where the Harraseeket River and Little River meet the sea. This coastal landscape is dotted with small, family-named settlements like Cushing Briggs and South Freeport, alongside numerous historic burial grounds such as the Old Parish Burying Ground and Porters Landing Cem. The map reveals a maritime-oriented geography where necks of land like Wolf Neck and Flying Point Neck reach into the water, sheltering coves and creating a complex network of island groups including Googins Island, Williams Island, and the more distant Bustins Island. Inland, the terrain rises toward Hedgehog Mountain and Pleasant Hill, while small waterways like Frost Gully Brook and Merrill Brook drain the wooded interior toward the salt water. The concentration of landings—Mast Landing, Porter Landing, and Bunganuc Landing—speaks to the historical importance of boat access for these Cumberland County communities.
