1956 Map of York

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The coastal defense and maritime heritage of southern Maine define this mid-century landscape, anchored by the Portsmouth Naval Base and the strategic entrance to the Piscataqua River. The shoreline is dotted with historical fortifications such as Fort Constitution, Fort Stark, and Fort McClary State Park, marking centuries of military significance near Kittery and New Castle. Inland, the terrain rises toward Mt Agamenticus, where localized settlements like Agamenticus Village and Brixham Upper Corners reflect an older rural economy established long before the modern corridors of the Maine Turnpike and Blue Star Memorial Highway altered the pace of travel.
