1948 Map of Portland West

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Evergreen Cemetery and the sprawling rail yards of Deering Junction anchor this detailed post-war study of the city's western fringes. The landscape is defined by the winding Presumpscot River and the tidal reaches of Back Cove, where a complex network of iron connects the Maine Central RR, Grand Trunk RR, and Boston and Maine RR. This infrastructure supported the industrial heart of Westbrook and its Cumberland Mills, as well as the coastal commerce near Ligonia.
