1956 Map of York Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cape Neddick Lighthouse stands as a primary navigational sentinel on this mid-century topographic record of the Maine coastline. The transition from the rocky headlands of Israels Head and Bald Head to the developed seasonal settlements reflects the area's mid-century identity. In Ogunquit, the map details a dense cluster of coastal development near Ogunquit Beach, while further south, the Railroad Grade traces a former transportation corridor that once linked these shore communities. The interior is marked by several freshwater bodies such as Staples Pond and Lake Carolyn, providing a contrast to the salt spray of Cape Neddick Harbor. Significant local infrastructure, including the Blue Star Memorial Highway, indicates the post-war growth in regional accessibility that shaped towns like York Beach and Concordville.
