1975 Map of Dover-Foxcroft NE

About this map

Piscataquis River meanders through this mid-1970s orthophotograph, serving as the central geographic feature of a rural landscape defined by woodlots and small clearings. Unlike traditional line maps, this photographic survey reveals the actual texture of the Maine woods and the precise boundaries of agricultural fields near Sebec Corners and Atkinson Corners. The small settlement of South Sebec sits along the river's north bank, while further south, the winding path of Alder Stream leads toward the site of Atkinson Mills. This imagery preserves the exact footprint of these small Piscataquis County communities before modern forest regrowth and changes in local land use altered the visible relationship between the town centers and the surrounding timberland.
