1985 Map of Kittery

About this map

The Piscataqua River forms the critical maritime boundary between Maine and New Hampshire in this mid-1980s coastal survey. The industrial and military significance of the harbor is anchored by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on Seavey Island, while the massive footprint of Pease Air Force Base dominates the landscape just west of the river. To the north and east, the transition from the busy urban corridors of Dover and Rochester into the smaller village centers of York and Kennebunk reveals the region’s dual identity as both a defense hub and a colonial-era residential landscape. Natural features such as Mount Agamenticus and the protected marshes of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge contrast with the heavy infrastructure of the Maine Turnpike and the Boston and Maine RR, showing how modern transport networks were overlaid upon centuries of settlement in towns like South Berwick and Biddeford.
