2024 Map of Portland East

About this map

Casco Bay is defined by a dense constellation of coastal fortifications and maritime transit lines that connect Portland to its outlying islands. Defensive history is layered across the harbor, marked by coastal batteries and fortifications such as Fort Gorges, Fort Preble, and Fort Levett, reflecting the strategic military importance of this Maine coastline across multiple centuries. On the mainland, the map details established neighborhoods like South Portland and Falmouth Foreside, where family and community history is preserved in sites like the Eastern Cem and Foreside Community Cem.
