  • Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context
    Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context Scott T. Hanson Sutherland Conservation & Consulting August 2015 General context Development of Colonial Falmouth European settlement of the area that became the city of Portland, Maine, began with English settlers establishing homes on the islands of Casco Bay and on the peninsula known as Casco Neck in the early seventeenth century. As in much of Maine, early settlers were attracted by abundant natural resources, specifically fish and trees. Also like other early settlement efforts, those at Casco Bay and Casco Neck were tenuous and fitful, as British and French conflicts in Europe extended across the Atlantic to New England and both the French and their Native American allies frequently sought to limit British territorial claims in the lands between Massachusetts and Canada. Permanent settlement did not come to the area until the early eighteenth century and complete security against attacks from French and Native forces did not come until the fall of Quebec to the British in 1759. Until this historic event opened the interior to settlement in a significant way, the town on Casco Neck, named Falmouth, was primarily focused on the sea with minimal contact with the interior. Falmouth developed as a compact village in the vicinity of present day India Street. As it expanded, it grew primar- ily to the west along what would become Fore, Middle, and Congress streets. A second village developed at Stroudwater, several miles up the Fore River. Roads to the interior were limited and used primarily to move logs to the coast for sawing or use as ship’s masts.

It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

  • Geomorphology of Presumpscot Formation Landslides
    Geomorphology of Presumpscot Formation Landslides S.M. Dickson and R.A. Johnston Maine Geological Survey, Dept. of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, State of Maine ABSTRACT: Landslides in the Presumpscot Formation have been witnessed around Maine for at least 150 years and documented back to 13,500 years ago. With 2010 lidar data, we identified 216 possible landslides in the greater Portland area. Geomorphology shows multiple earth movements that resulted in relatively flat valleys on the order of 5-15 m lower than the surrounding undisturbed Presumpscot Formation. These lowlands have hummocky ridges that imply a direction of upland displacement. One of these features, the Fuller Flowslide, predates the nearby 1869 Westbrook landslide, lowered 25 hectares of land, and discharged sediment into the Presumpscot River. The morphology of many of the greater Portland landslides suggests a fluid-like earth movement different from the retrogressive block failures common in many other Maine landslides. We hypothesize that the GM-D (draped Presumpscot Formation) facies may lead to retrogressive movements while the GM-P (ponded) facies may contribute to the larger flow slides. landslides and to locate additional features that resemble documented landslides. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Maine landslides 2 IDENTIFICATION OF LANDLIDES WITH Landslides have been known to occur in Maine LIDAR since early deglaciation (Thompson, 1997; 2.1 Data analysis Thompson et al., 2011), through the colonial period (Morse, 1869) up to the present (Berry et In order to visualize the geomorphology of al., 1996). In his study of the Presumpscot known landslide sites, lidar bare-earth topography Formation, Bloom (1963) recognized instability (relief with buildings, bridges, trees removed) in the silt and clay sediments in southern Maine.

  • Population & Demographics
    APPENDIX Population & APPENDIX: POPULATION & Demographics DEMOGRAPHICS The most important resource available to a community is its people. While the City is often thought of as a single entity, it is a dynamic network of established and new neighborhoods, employment centers, commercial areas, and school districts that are fundamental affected by population and demographic changes. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS Population Population change is the result of two factors: natural increase (the difference between births and deaths) and net migration (the change in people moving to/from the community). Most local population growth typically occurs from individuals and families moving to a community, usually for economic opportunity or quality of life reasons. The City’s population has undergone several phases throughout its history. The City experienced steady – and in some decades dramatic – growth through the 19th and early 20th centuries, reaching its peak population of 77,634 residents in 1950. The subsequent three decades were marked by a sharp decline in population. This decline is consistent with several national trends that destabilized many U.S. cities. These include a rapid post World War II housing boom and suburbanization of outlying, formerly rural communities as well as large-scale urban renewal projects that reconfigured and sometimes removed existing urban neighborhoods. In the past three decades, however, the City’s population has stabilized and appears to be entering a new phase of renewed growth. DEMOGRAPHIC HIGHLIGHTS • Portland is the largest city in Maine, with a 2010 population of 66,194 and a 2015 estimate by the US Census Bureau of 66,681 (nearly double that of Lewiston, the state’s second largest City).
