1956 Map of York Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Cape Neddick Lighthouse stands at the tip of Cape Neddick (Nubble), marking a dramatic point on the Maine coast where the Atlantic Ocean meets a landscape of rocky heads and hidden coves. This mid-century survey, with revisions from 1973, details the seasonal and residential growth of settlements like Ogunquit and York Beach. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the Blue Star Memorial Highway and the Shore Road, which connect coastal landmarks from Perkins Cove down to York Harbor. A notable geographic transition is visible where the Josias River and Cape Neddick River drain into the sea, framing a coastline punctuated by distinctive terrain such as Bald Head Cliff and Wadleighs Head. Inland, the map captures a mix of woodlands and swamps, including Rush Swamp, alongside recreational developments like the Ogunquit Country Club.
