About this map

Evergreen Cemetery and the extensive grounds of Cumberland Mills anchor this mid-century portrait of Portland's western expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Presumpscot River and the industrial infrastructure of the Portland Terminal Railroad. Significant educational and medical institutions, including the University of Maine (Portland) and Maine Medical Center, indicate the city's role as a regional hub.
