1975 Map of Mattawamkeag Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Mattawamkeag River meanders through the northern reaches of this orthophotograph, captured during a 1975 aerial survey of the Maine wilderness. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based study reveals the raw texture of the timberlands and the complex hydrology of the region without the filter of symbolic abstraction. The West Branch joins the primary river system amidst dense forest cover, while Sly Brook carves a narrow path through the southern terrain. This perspective is particularly valuable for understanding the natural drainage patterns and the undisturbed shoreline of Mud Lake before later developments. The variations in canopy density and visible water levels provide a literal record of the Aroostook County landscape during the mid-1970s, offering researchers a clear look at the state of the north woods timber environment.
