1975 Map of Burnham NE

About this map

Unity Pond dominates the southern landscape of this 1975 orthophotoquad, its dark expanse contrasting sharply with the surrounding patchwork of small agricultural clearings and dense Maine woodland. This aerial perspective, captured in the mid-1970s, reveals the rural spatial organization of Waldo County, where small clusters of development like Reynolds Corner and Greens Corner are situated at key road intersections. The map provides a detailed view of the land-use patterns of the era, showing the relationship between established farmsteads, secondary roads, and the shoreline near Oakland. This specific type of photographic survey offers a clear look at forest boundaries and field structures as they existed before subsequent decades of regrowth or development altered the Waldo County terrain.
