1975 Map of Brooks NW

About this map

North Dixmont and Dixmont serve as the primary hubs in this orthophotoquad, which utilizes 1975 aerial photography to document the rural landscape of Penobscot County. The map provides a high-contrast visual record of the region's agricultural patterns and woodlots before significant late-century development. Moving westward, the crossroads of Hows Corners and East Troy are clearly visible, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of central Maine. The terrain is defined by the prominent Mount Harris and the winding course of Martin Stream in the northeast. This specialized photographic survey offers an unfiltered view of property lines, forest clearing, and road networks, capturing the transition between the small village centers of Troy and the surrounding timber and farm country during the mid-1970s.
