1975 Map of Danforth NE

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada cuts directly through the waters of Chiputneticook Lake, defining the eastern edge of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad. This unique perspective, derived from aerial photography, captures the dense forest and complex shoreline of eastern Maine near the village of Danforth. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling interconnected basins of Grand Lake and Sucker Lake, where small clearings for human activity appear as distinct contrasts against the dark timber. Local landmarks such as Butterfield Landing and the elevated terrain of Greenland Ridge provide spatial orientation for the scattered settlements and access points along the water. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this image-based survey highlights the exact texture of the woods and the precise configuration of the lakes near the Maine and New Brunswick line.
