1975 Map of Caribou NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Sweden and Colby occupy the eastern portion of this 1975 orthophotoquad, revealing the agricultural and forest patterns of Aroostook County during the mid-1970s. This aerial perspective, prepared from high-altitude photography, provides a clear view of the rural settlement at Woodland Center and the more remote community of Spaulding further west. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Madawaska River and Caribou Stream, with large tracts of managed woodland interspersed with cleared fields. Researchers can observe the historical land use around Salmon Brook Lake and the drainage of Salmon Brook, capturing the region's character before modern reforestation and development altered these patterns. The orthophoto format offers a unique literal record of the ground surface, showing specific field boundaries and farmsteads as they existed at the time of the flight.
