About this map

Charleston and its surrounding rural landscapes in Penobscot County are documented here through high-altitude aerial photography taken in late 1975. This orthophotoquad provides an unfiltered view of the agricultural patterns and woodland coverage defining central Maine during the mid-1970s. The settlement pattern is characterized by small crossroads and clusters like West Charleston and Hicks Corner, connected by a network of rural roads that cut through dense forest and cleared fields.

Waterways like Crooked Brook wind through the terrain, while specific landmarks such as Rollins Mill and Twin Brook offer points of interest for those studying the local geography. The southern edge of the sheet captures the outskirts of East Corinth, illustrating the relationship between these small communities. For researchers, this imagery reveals the exact footprint of farmsteads and the extent of timber harvesting as it existed decades ago.
