1975 Map of Guilford NW

About this map

The Piscataquis River and its confluence with Kingsbury Stream anchor this orthophotoquad, revealing the mid-1970s development patterns of several Maine settlements. The imagery captures the physical relationship between the river and the towns of Guilford, Abbot Village, and Upper Abbot, where cleared agricultural fields and industrial sites contrast sharply against the dense forest of Moosehorn. This aerial perspective shows the distinct cluster of the North Guilford area near the northern waters and the southern reach of Parkman near Harlow Pond. The transition from riverbank industry to timberland is clearly visible, providing a detailed record of the landscape before significant modern changes. Researchers can trace historical property lines, road networks, and the water-driven development that historically defined this part of Piscataquis County.
