1975 Map of Guilford NE

About this map

The Piscataquis River carves a distinct path through this central Maine landscape, which is shown through aerial photography from the mid-1970s. The orthophotoquad format reveals the specific clearing patterns of the era, contrasting the dense forest canopy with the rectangular agricultural plots and pastures surrounding Dunham Corner and East Sangerville. Small-scale settlement is concentrated in the riverside community of Guilford and the inland hub of Guilford Center, where local road networks branch out to connect family farmsteads. This visual record provides a rare look at the exact land use and woodlot boundaries as they existed before decades of reforestation and modernization altered the Piscataquis County countryside.
