1940 or 1941: View of the Mill Creek area and the convergence of Ocean Street and Cottage Road in Knightville. South Portland High School, the current Mahoney Middle School, at lower left and Brown Elementary School on the lower right. Mill Creek can be seen running to a low tidal area that is now Mill Creek Park. The open fields in the upper left are all now shopping centers, a car dealer and South Portland's waste water treatment facility.
