2018 Map of Portland West

About this map

The Presumpscot River winds through this detailed survey of Portland's western reaches, marking the boundary between established industrial centers like Westbrook and the expanding residential neighborhoods of Deering. In the early 21st century, the landscape reflects a complex layering of history, where the modern Portland International Jetport sits adjacent to the 18th-century Stroudwater Burying Ground. The map reveals the deep-rooted family legacy of the region through numerous small plots such as the Pride Family Cem and Gowen Family Cem. Educational and religious institutions are prominent, including the University of New England Westbrook College and several Jewish burial grounds like Mount Sinai Cem. Industrial heritage is preserved in the labels for Cumberland Mills and the Grand Trunk Cem, highlighting the era when rail and water power drove the local economy.
