2011 Map of Old Orchard Beach

About this map

Old Orchard Beach and its surrounding coastal lowlands are defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Nonesuch River and the estuaries draining into Saco Bay. This survey captures the transition from the dense street grids of Saco and the Dunegrass Golf Community to the more rural, ridge-dominated landscape of South Buxton and Beech Ridge. Local history is visible in the distribution of family-named features and industrial markers such as Milliken Mills and the Bradley-Springs Island Dam. In the northeast, the Beech Ridge Speedway stands as a prominent cultural landmark, while quiet corners like the Pet Cemetery and West Scarborough Cemetery offer points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The landscape is a mixture of modern residential developments and traditional Maine topography, where features like Goosefare Hill and Slater Hill rise above the coastal marshes and brooks.
