About this map

The Piscataqua River serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, defining the border between Maine and New Hampshire. Maritime and military history dominate the shoreline, where the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on Seavey Island and several historic fortifications, including Fort McClary State Park and Fort Constitution, guarded the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both naval defense and coastal commerce, featuring landmarks like the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse and the isolated Whaleback Lighthouse at the harbor mouth.
