1944 Map of York Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Ogunquit and the southern Maine coastline appear here during the mid-1940s, a landscape defined by rocky points and seasonal settlements. The map highlights the transition from a maritime economy to a coastal retreat, with the Ogunquit Country Club and various beachside communities like York Beach and York Cliffs punctuating the shore. Inland, the presence of the Old RR Grade running through the York Swamp points to former transportation corridors that once linked these seaside towns. Distinctive topographical features such as Bald Head Cliff and Cape Neddick Nubble anchor the shoreline, while the Cape Neddick LH serves as a vital navigational landmark near the entrance to the Cape Neddick River. Family names and local landmarks like Perkins Cove, Israels Head, and Simpsons Hill provide significant detail for those tracing the development of York and Wells at the height of the Second World War era.
