About this map

Scarborough occupies a complex coastal landscape where the Nonesuch River and Dunstan River converge to form a vast estuarine marshland protected by the barrier sands of Pine Point. This 2011 survey captures the intricate relationship between the region's suburban growth and its geological boundaries, featuring the prominent rocky headland of Prouts Neck and the long reaches of Grand Beach. Local history is anchored by sites like the Riverside Cemetery and Black Point Cemetery, while the area's recreational character is evident through the Scarborough Downs racing facility and several coastal resorts.

The map details the drainage patterns of Mill Brook and Libby River, which define the residential pockets of Winnocks Neck and Higgins Beach. Maritime landmarks such as The Cod Rocks, Ram Island, and Stratton Island dot the offshore waters of Saco Bay. This record preserves the footprint of established neighborhoods like Thornton Heights and Oak Hill alongside the specialized infrastructure of the Spurwink Farm Airfield and the Mill Brook Dam.
