Coastal Cities city maps
These are the published city pages where the open Atlantic or Gulf edge still shapes the view. Harbors, forts, shipping lanes, and exposed waterfronts do as much work in the composition as the streets inland.
Coastal Cities becomes clearer when distant cities line up
Baltimore 1912, Boston 1905, and Savannah 1734 do not share one shoreline or one state line, yet the same structural problem keeps returning in the sheet. Atlantic and Gulf cities whose fortifications, wharves, and open water still control the composition.
Across 4 states, 3 eras, and 4 named maker groups, this page shows how one urban form can persist even when the dates, materials, and local economies change.
