1975 Map of Millinocket Lake SE

About this map

Millinocket Lake and Millimagassett Lake dominate this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography from 1975 to document the northern Maine wilderness in high detail. Unlike traditional line maps, this photographic survey provides a direct view of the dense forest canopy and the complex drainage systems that define the region. The Aroostook River winds through the northern portion of the sheet, while Millinocket Stream connects the major water bodies. This specialized survey was prepared by the Geological Survey to offer a realistic perspective on the remote terrain and hydrology of the Penobscot area. Researchers and outdoorsmen can use these photographic layers to trace the historical shoreline of Big Beaver Pond and the surrounding timberlands before decades of modern forest management changed the landscape.
