1977 Map of Indian Pond South

About this map

Kennebec River drainage patterns define this Somerset County landscape, as captured in late 1977. This orthophotograph provides a rare visual of the timber-rich Maine interior before modern development altered the forest floor. The image reveals the winding course of Indian Stream and the distinct shoreline of Round Pond, surrounded by dense woodland. Waterways like Little Indian Brook and Black Brook cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage system critical to the region's logging history and ecology. Because this is an orthophoto, it provides a direct look at the actual vegetation and land-use patterns of the era rather than a stylized topographic representation.
