1977 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville Junction and the town of Greenville anchor this orthophotoquad, which captures the southern reaches of Moosehead Lake as they appeared in the late 1970s. This aerial perspective, prepared from November 1977 photography, provides an unfiltered view of the dense Maine woods and the complex water systems that defined the region's development. The clear-cut runways of the local airport stand out against the forest, while the drainage of the Piscataquis River and Big Wilson Stream trace the low-lying terrain south of The Highlands. To the east, the large expanse of Lower Wilson Pond is visible, fed by the winding Coffee House Stream. This photographic study is particularly valuable for researchers tracing land use patterns and the exact footprint of forest clearings and road networks before the turn of the century.
