About this map

Kennebec River bends through this landscape in the mid-1970s, anchoring a region of farm clearings and dense woodlands in Somerset County. This orthophotoquad provides a precise visual record of rural Maine, showing the distinct patchwork of timber and open fields that defined the local economy during this era. Several small crossroads and settlements are visible, including East Madison and Madison, which reveal the residential patterns of the time. The imagery captured in late October also shows the established road network linking local hubs like Blackwell Corner, Lakewood, and Martin Corner. For those studying land use or genealogy, these aerial details offer an exact look at property boundaries and rural development before modern suburban expansion.
