1975 Map of Eagle Lake NW

About this map

The St John River forms the defining international border on this orthophotoquad, separating Northern Maine from New Brunswick, Canada. This aerial perspective shows the concentrated agricultural activity along the river valley, where cleared fields and farmstead structures contrast sharply with the dense timberlands to the south. The small settlement of Wheelock is situated on the southern bank, nestled near the wooded elevations that rise toward Wheelock Lake. The imagery reveals a complex network of logging roads and forest management patterns across the township of Wallagrass, providing a clear view of the mid-1970s timber economy. Along the river's path, the Ledges create a distinctive geological break in the shoreline, marking a point of interest for local navigation and history.
