1975 Map of Caribou SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Washburn serves as a focal point in this northern Aroostook County landscape, situated where the Salmon Brook meets the sweeping curve of the Aroostook River. This orthophoto map, created from aerial photography taken in May 1975, reveals the precise agricultural patterns and forest boundaries of the era. The imagery clearly shows the concentration of development in settlements like Bugbee and Perham, while the surrounding acreage is defined by a patchwork of cleared farmland and dense woodlots. Tracing the courses of West Branch Salmon Brook and Gardiner Brook, one can see how the hydrology influenced local road placement and field orientation. The small settlement of Carson appears to the northeast, illustrating the decentralized rural community structure common in Maine's potato-growing regions during the mid-1970s.
