About this map

The coastal village of York Beach serves as the focal point for this 2014 study of the Maine shoreline, where seasonal tourism and residential developments meet the Atlantic. The landscape is characterized by a high density of family-named plots, such as Littlefield Lot, Adams Lot, and Perkins Lot, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local land ownership patterns. These lots are interspersed with historical burial grounds including Locust Grove Cem and Littlefield Cem.

Further south, the iconic Cape Neddick Nubble stands at the edge of Cape Neddick Harbor, marking a transition from the sandy expanses of Long Beach to the rocky promontories of Dover Bluff. The inland areas remain largely characterized by small water bodies like Staples Pond and Lake Carolyn, while the offshore maritime environment is anchored by the remote Boon Island. The map meticulously details the evolution of settlements such as Ocean View Village and Concordville along the historic corridor of Us-1.
