About this map

Kennebunkport and the Lower Village are defined by the winding course of the Kennebunk River as it reaches the Atlantic Ocean in this mid-century topographic study. The landscape reflects a mix of maritime heritage and early coastal leisure, with the Webhannet Golf Course and an Athletic Field established near the residential clusters of Wildes Corner and the Wildes District.

Further east, the intricate coastline of Cape Porpoise Harbor is protected by a chain of islands including Stage Island, Trott Island, and Goat Island, the latter featuring the Goat Island Lighthouse. The interior terrain is largely low-lying, marked by Grist Mill Pond and Paddy Creek, while prominent points like Walkers Point and Cape Arundel anchor the rocky shore. This 1956 revision documents the established road network, including Old River Rd, during a period of steady coastal development.
