1975 Map of Fish River Lake NE

About this map

Deboullie Pond and Black Pond dominate the high northwestern terrain of this orthophotoquad, where the landscape is defined by the sharp relief of northern Maine's forestlands. Captured in late 1975, the imagery reveals the timber-rich topography surrounding Whitman Mountain and Black Mountain. This map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of the era, showing the paths of the Red River, Rocky Brook, and Chase Brook as they cut through the dense canopy. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophoto uses rectified aerial photography to show the actual surface conditions of the wilderness, including old logging access paths and forest clearings that were present during the mid-1970s. It is a precise record of this undeveloped stretch of Aroostook County before modern forest management altered these specific timber stands.
