1956 Map of Kittery

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Piscataqua River forms a complex maritime boundary in this mid-century survey, separating the bustling Portsmouth waterfront from the coastal reaches of Kittery. This era of the landscape is defined by its deep-rooted military and naval significance, anchored by the expansive Portsmouth Naval Base on Seavey Island. Strategic defenses line the coast, including Fort Constitution and US Naval Res (Fort Stark) guarding the mouth of Little Harbor, while US Mil Res (Fort Dearborn) occupies the rocky headlands near Odiornes Point.
