1975 Map of Lincoln SE

About this map

The Penobscot River flows through this 1975 orthophotoquad, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the settlements of Lincoln and South Lincoln. Captured from aerial photography taken in October 1975, the map reveals the dense forest cover and agricultural clearings of central Maine just before the turn of the decade. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of Cold Stream Pond, where the shoreline meets the edge of Enfield. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this photographic record provides a direct visual account of land use, showing the exact extent of woods, roads, and riverside development. It documents the spatial relationship between the river corridor and the town centers of Lincoln and South Lincoln during a period of established local industry.
