1975 Map of Houlton NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The northern reaches of Aroostook County are captured in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which emphasizes the distinct land-use patterns of the Maine woods. Most notable is the drainage of Moose Brook, which winds through the central terrain amidst a complex patchwork of forest and cleared agricultural fields. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this aerial perspective reveals the sharp transitions between densely timbered sections and the rectangular clearings characteristic of the region's farming heritage. The imagery, rectified by optical scanning from 1975 photography, provides a clear view of the rural road network and isolated farmsteads that defined the Houlton NW area during this period, showing the literal footprint of human activity on the landscape.
