1975 Map of Howe Brook SE

About this map

The Meduxnekeag River flows through this heavily forested portion of Aroostook County, Maine, as it appeared in the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad provides an overhead view of the wilderness landscape before extensive modern development, showing the winding course of the river alongside North Branch and South Brook. The topography is defined by significant elevations like The Pinnacle, while water bodies such as Carlisle Pond and North Pond are visible amidst the dense tree cover. The network of logging roads and trails visible from the 1975 aerial photography reveals the land's primary use for timber and resource management. Smaller waterways like Smith Brook cut through the terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of this remote northern Maine region.
