1956 Map of Kennebunkport

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Kennebunk River shapes the western boundary of this coastal landscape, where the seafaring tradition of Kennebunkport meets the summer resort culture of Kennebunk Beach. This 1956 survey, updated with 1970 revisions shown in purple, captures the transition of the Maine coast into a premier leisure destination, featuring both the Webhannet Golf Course and Cape Arundel Golf Course. The maritime importance of the area is anchored by the Goat Island Lighthouse guarding Cape Porpoise Harbor, a cluster of islands including Trott Island and Vaughn Island. Inland, small hamlets like Wildes Corner and Coopers Corner provide a glimpse into the local settlement patterns away from the rocky shore. Notable landmarks such as the Grist Mill on Grist Mill Pond and the prominent Walkers Point illustrate the mix of historical industry and significant residential estates that characterize the York County shoreline.
