1975 Map of Brooks SW

About this map

Jackson Corners and the surrounding Waldo County landscape are captured in this orthophotograph, which utilizes aerial imagery taken in late October 1975. This specialized format emphasizes the actual land use and vegetation patterns of the era, showing a mosaic of woodlots and cleared agricultural fields connected by a network of rural roads. Several historically significant crossroads are documented, including Knox Center, Ray Corner, and East Knox. The drainage of the region is anchored by the southern reaches of Lake Passagassawakeag and the winding course of Marsh Stream. Unlike traditional line maps, this imagery provides a literal view of the homesteads and clearings at Knox Lodge Corner, offering genealogists and local historians a precise look at the mid-1970s Maine countryside.
