1944 Map of Kittery

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Piscataqua River serves as the dominant boundary on this 1944 military survey, separating the coastal communities of Maine and New Hampshire during a period of heavy coastal fortification. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Portsmouth Harbor, where Gerrish Island and Seavey Island define the maritime approaches. Strategic military installations are prominent across the landscape, including Fort Constitution, Camp Langdon, and the Pulpit Rock Military Reservation. Inland, the survey captures the residential character of Kittery and Admiralty Village, while identifying smaller rural junctions like Bedell Crossing and Seabury Switch. Along the coast, the transit from Wallis Sands to the rocky outcroppings of Ragged Neck Pt highlights the varied terrain of Rye and the residential clusters at Fairhill Manor and Sterling Corner.
