1978 Map of Jo-Mary Mountain

About this map

Jo-Mary Mountain and the high timberlands of Piscataquis County are documented here through high-resolution orthophotography from the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad provides a clear visual record of the forest canopy and logging access routes as they existed during this era of industrial forestry. The East Branch Pleasant River cuts a prominent diagonal path through the center of the sheet, while several remote water bodies, including Johnston Pond and B Pond, dot the upland landscape. The imagery captures the varied terrain of the region, from the steep slopes of Cedar Mountain to the peaks of Big Wilkie Mountain and Little Wilkie Mountain. Because this is an aerial-derived image rather than a traditional line map, it offers researchers a direct look at the ground cover and land use patterns of the Maine woods before more recent commercial shifts.
