1975 Map of Mattawamkeag NW

About this map

Salmon Stream Lake dominates the northwest corner of this orthophotoquad, reflecting the dense timberland of the Penobscot region during the mid-1970s. This specific aerial perspective, captured in October 1975, reveals the heavy forest canopy and the narrow logging roads or drainage cuts that define the local topography. The landscape is carved by the winding course of Salmon Stream and the lower reach of Wyman Brook, showing the natural drainage patterns of this sparsely populated interior. For researchers or land owners, the map provides a unique visual record of forest density and water levels as they existed prior to modern industrial shifts, serving as a baseline for environmental or property history in this rural Maine quadrangle.
