1975 Map of Fish River Lake SE

About this map

Fish Lake and its surrounding Maine timberlands are captured in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which uses aerial imagery to show the actual texture of the forest and waterways. The northern reach of Fish River dominates the eastern half of the sheet, winding southward from the lake through a landscape defined by drainage patterns like Chase Brook and Fox Brook. To the south, Mud Pond sits in a low-lying basin, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of Aroostook County. The orthophotographic format provides a distinct view of the logging roads and clearing patterns of the era, offering researchers a realistic look at the land cover and environmental conditions before more modern development or reforestation changed the forest's footprint.
