1975 Map of Lincoln SW

About this map

The Penobscot River flows through this 1975 aerial perspective of central Maine, marking a landscape defined by its deep woods and significant waterways. This orthophotoquad provides a clear view of the confluence where the Piscataquis River meets the Penobscot, a site of long-standing importance for regional transport and the logging industry. To the north, the southern reaches of Cold Stream Lake punctuate the dense forest cover. The imagery captures the winding path of the river channels and the developed corridor of road infrastructure that shadows the water, reflecting the area's mid-century reliance on both its natural resources and modern transportation networks. This specific survey serves as a visual census of the Maine wilderness and rural development just before the transition into the 1980s.
