1957 Map of Prouts Neck

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The coastal transition of southern Maine is captured here, where the developing suburbs of South Portland City meet the marshes and rocky points of Scarborough. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Nonesuch River and Spurwink River, which carve through the terrain toward Saco Bay. This mid-century record shows the footprint of the Maine Turnpike and the Boston And Maine Railroad during a period of significant residential expansion, evidenced by the clustered neighborhoods of Thornton Heights, Sunset Park, and Stanwood Park.
