1975 Map of Old Orchard Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Old Orchard Beach is revealed in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, showing the dense coastal development along the Atlantic shoreline just north of the Saco River. This photographic record, prepared in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, documents the transition from the marshy lowlands of the Nonesuch River and Dunstan River to the residential grids of West Scarborough and Boothbay Park. The imagery captures the physical relationship between the established town centers and the natural recreational spaces like Pine Park, providing a clear view of the area's geography before decades of modern coastal expansion. It serves as a precise visual baseline for understanding the land use and drainage patterns of York County during this era.
