2021 Map of Portland West

About this map

Portland and the neighboring industrial hub of Westbrook anchor this coastal Maine landscape, where the Presumpscot River winds toward the Atlantic. The river's historical importance is marked by features like Presumpscot Falls and Succarappa Falls, once power sources for the mills that shaped local development. The map details the dense neighborhoods of the West End, Munjoy Hill, and East End, alongside the waterfront docks along Fore River. Educational and civic institutions are prominent, including the University of Southern Maine and the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Beyond the urban core, the map reveals a complex network of cemeteries and burial grounds like Evergreen Cem and the Stroudwater Burying Ground Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians. From the busy runways of the Portland International Jetport to the tidal reaches of Back Cove, this survey captures the intersection of Maine's maritime heritage and modern infrastructure.
