Scarborough
Scarborough has served as a coastal farming community in southern Maine since the 17th century. Set between Portland and Saco Bay, the town combines a long Atlantic shoreline with extensive wetlands and inland woods. Scarborough Marsh is Maine’s largest salt marsh, with tidal wetlands protected in part by the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. The Maine Turnpike, Interstate 95, crosses the town inland, linking the Portland area with southern Maine and New Hampshire. On the coast, Prouts Neck is closely associated with painter Winslow Homer, who lived and worked there from 1883 until his death in 1910. Beaches, tidal rivers and suburban neighbourhoods make Scarborough more varied than a simple commuter stop.

Scarborough combines Atlantic shoreline with protected salt-marsh habitat in a way that reflects its position on Saco Bay. Its coast includes Prouts Neck, a rocky peninsula beside sandy Scarborough Beach, while Scarborough Marsh is Maine’s largest salt marsh and an important habitat for birds. American painter Winslow Homer lived and worked at Prouts Neck from 1883 until his death in 1910; his studio remains a landmark of Maine art history.

Atlantic coastline and extensive northern forests define much of Maine - fishing ports, boatbuilding communities and the forest-products industry have long shaped the state’s economy and identity. The Gulf of Maine cuts into a rugged shore of islands, peninsulas and tidal inlets, while the Penobscot River runs from the interior toward Penobscot Bay. Inland, Baxter State Park contains Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island protects granite headlands and coastal woodland. Maritime traditions remain tangible in Maine’s lobster fishery, and Portland Head Light, completed in 1791, stands near Portland as a historic beacon.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
