1976 Map of East Lake SE

About this map

The international border of Quebec Maine runs through this 1976 orthophotoquad, capturing a remote landscape of the Maine North Woods as it appeared in the mid-1970s. This aerial perspective, rectified by optical scanning, provides a literal look at the dense forest cover and drainage patterns that define the northern reaches of Aroostook County. The terrain is marked by a complex network of waterways, including the North Branch Twomile Brook and the South Branch Twomile Brook, which carve through the timberlands. The visible logging roads and clearings illustrate the active industrial forestry of the era, while the West Branch Five Mile Brook drains the southern portion of the sheet. Unlike standard topographic maps, this imagery records the actual vegetation and ground cover at the moment of the flight.
