1975 Map of Kennebunkport

About this map

Kennebunkport and the nearby village of Cape Porpoise are the focal points of this mid-1970s orthophotograph, which captures the Maine coastline through direct aerial imagery. Unlike a conventional topographic map, this survey uses rectified photography taken on April 30, 1975, to show the precise density of coastal development and the texture of the rocky shore. The settlement at Coopers Corner sits just inland from the winding River, while the residential sprawl around Turbats Creek reflects the area's mid-century growth. The image provides a rare view of the docks, harbor structures, and maritime layout before modern renovations, extending out into the Atlantic Ocean and encompassing the neighbor town of Kennebunk.
