1975 Map of Island Falls NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Rockabema Lake and the surrounding wilderness of Aroostook County dominate this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography from October 1975 to provide a literal view of the Maine woods. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery reveals the actual density of the forest canopy and the precise shoreline of Pleasant Lake as they appeared in the mid-1970s. The terrain is marked by distinct summits like Green Mtn and Pickett Mtn, the latter of which overlooks Pickett Mtn Pond. The lack of road networks or human settlements printed on this sheet emphasizes the secluded, timber-heavy character of this northern landscape. This record captures the precise state of the timberland and hydrology before modern reforestation cycles or development altered the visible textures of the terrain.
