1975 Map of Dover-Foxcroft SW

About this map

Dover South Mills stands as a focal point in this mid-1970s orthophoto quadrangle, where the wooded terrain of Penobscot County meets the clearing patterns of local agriculture. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial perspective reveals the precise density of forest cover and the layout of individual farmsteads around Garland and Carr Corner. The course of Black Stream is visible as it winds through the northern portion of the landscape, providing a natural drainage corridor for the surrounding timberlands. The map serves as a detailed record of land use during this era, illustrating the specific boundaries of woodlots and the network of rural roads that connected these small Maine settlements before further modern development altered the rural footprint.
