1975 Map of Island Falls SW

About this map

Patten anchors the southern edge of this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial imagery from 1975 to document the transition between worked agricultural lands and the thick forest of northern Penobscot County. The geography is defined by a series of waterways, including Long Brook and Adler Brook, which drain through the timbered hills toward Crystal Lake and its outlet at Crystal Brook. The photographic detail provides a clear view of the timber harvest patterns and field boundaries as they existed in the mid-1970s.
