1970 Map of Deer Lake East

About this map

George Washington State Forest dominates this northern landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of lakes and seasonal transit routes. In the early 1970s, the terrain was accessed through a series of specialized paths, including the Winter Trail, Winter Road, and Buttonbox Lake Road. An Old Railroad Grade cutting across the central portion of the sheet provides evidence of earlier logging or industrial activity that preceded the 1970 survey. Large bodies of water such as Deer Lake, Battle Lake, and Five Island Lake are interspersed with smaller named features like Lake Seventeen and Thistledew Lake. This orthophotomap, which utilizes high-altitude aerial photography, captures the dense forest cover and the scattered infrastructure of the era, including a Gravel Pit and a lakeside Campground.
