About this Portland map poster
Portland's core sits on a narrow peninsula reaching into Casco Bay, with the Fore River and its working harbour to the south and the round basin of Back Cove to the north. From above, the peninsula looks like a thick finger of streets rising to a hill at each end, Munjoy Hill to the east and the West End to the west.
Both hills end in parks, the Eastern and Western Promenades, which look out over the water. Between them, the Old Port packs brick buildings and cobbled streets against the wharves. Much of downtown was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1866, which destroyed a large part of the city.
Beyond the peninsula, the Calendar Islands are scattered across the bay, and ferries link Portland to Peaks Island and other island communities. The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born here. A Portland map poster shows it all in miniature: harbour, cove, two hills and the islands beyond.

Old Port wharves
Long piers stick out into the Fore River like the teeth of a comb, marking the working waterfront at the base of downtown.
Back Cove
A nearly round tidal basin closes off the peninsula to the north, circled by a walking path that traces a clean loop on the map.

Why Portland
A map that means something
Portland is a place people choose on purpose, for the harbour, the food or the islands, and a map of the peninsula makes a natural memento. It suits a kitchen, a hallway or a boat-minded study equally well.
Title it Portland, Maine, or name a neighbourhood such as Munjoy Hill, then add a date and keep or edit the coordinates. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint suits the maritime setting.
