About this map

The coastal village of Ogunquit and the southern reaches of Cape Neddick define this modern survey of the York County shoreline. The map reveals a densely layered landscape of family legacy, where small private burial grounds and former estate lots like the Adams Lot and Ramsdell Lot sit alongside modern developments. This juxtaposition of old and new is particularly evident around the York Beach Cem and the Neddick Baptist Church Cem, where historical religious and civic centers continue to anchor the community.

Along the rocky Atlantic coast, the terrain transitions from the dramatic height of Bald Head Cliff to the low-lying wetlands of Rush Swamp. The maritime character is shaped by landmarks like the Cape Neddick Nubble and protected inlets such as Perkins Cove and Cape Neddick Harbor. This geography supported a traditional economy of fishing and seafaring that persists in the navigation of the York Harbor Entrance and the local road network connecting historic landing points.
