2015 Map of Portland

About this map

Portland and the northern outskirts of Freeport anchor this coastal Florida landscape as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses flowing toward the Gulf of Mexico, including the meandering Alaqua Creek and its many tributaries like Goodwin Creek and Davis Mill Creek. Topographic features such as Scrub Hill, Brushy Head, and Steep Head rise above the basin, while the settlement of New Home sits near its namesake New Home Cemetery. This map reveals a transition from traditional rural homesteads to modern residential development, visible in the cluster of newer streets like Sunflower Lane and Date Palm Lane near Freeport. The geography is further marked by local infrastructure such as Hobbs Bridge and the Pine Allen Bridge, which facilitate travel across the region's numerous branches and creeks.
