1975 Map of Dover-Foxcroft NW

About this map

The Piscataquis River cuts through the heart of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which captures the Piscataquis County landscape through high-altitude aerial imagery. The primary settlement of Dover-Foxcroft is clearly visible, showing the concentration of buildings and infrastructure concentrated along the riverbanks. Surrounding this central hub, smaller rural clusters and road junctions such as Goffs Corner, Hord Corner, and South Dover illustrate the traditional Maine pattern of decentralized rural development. Unlike a standard topographic map, this photographic record provides a direct view of land use, revealing the sharp contrast between cleared agricultural fields and the dense forest canopy. The drainage network is further defined by the winding paths of Alder Stream and Black Stream, while the outlying village of East Dover serves as a secondary point of interest along the river corridor.
