About this map

Old Orchard Beach and the adjacent shores of Saco Bay define the coastal character of this mid-century landscape. The map illustrates a dense concentration of civic and religious institutions, including the Campground Tabernacle, Jameson School, and the grounds of Thornton Academy. The commercial and social fabric of the era is evident in the inclusion of the Beech Ridge Speedway and the Drive-in Theater, reflecting the automotive culture that began to dominate the region following the construction of the Maine Turnpike.
