1975 Map of Mattawamkeag Lake SW

About this map

Wytopitlock Lake dominates this orthophotoquad, serving as a central landmark in a heavily forested landscape defined by its intricate drainage patterns. Created from aerial photography taken in the mid-1970s, this document provides a photographic record of the terrain as it existed before modern shifts in land management. The winding paths of Wytopitlock Stream and Macwahoc Stream carve through the dense timberland, revealing the natural hydrology that has long influenced the region's logging history and seasonal access. Smaller tributaries like Braley Brook and Orcutt Brook branch into the interior, highlighting the isolation and raw character of this part of Aroostook County. Unlike traditional line maps, the imagery here allows for the direct observation of forest density and natural clearings around the water bodies.
