1978 Map of Caribou Lake South

About this map

Grant Farm sits at the heart of this North Woods landscape, serving as a primary point of human settlement amidst a dense network of Maine waterways. The 1978 aerial imagery reveals the sprawling reach of Caribou Lake and the southern tip of Chesuncook Lake, documenting the shoreline and timbered terrain before late-twentieth-century shifts in forest management. The winding path of Ragged Stream connects the larger basins with smaller, secluded water bodies like Bear Pond and Big Fisher Pond. This orthophotoquad captures the timberlands in a specific moment of transition, showing the clear contrast between the dark expanse of Ragged Lake and the varying textures of the surrounding vegetation and logging access points.
