1975 Map of Millinocket NE

About this map

East Millinocket serves as a focal point for this 1970s orthophoto survey, showing the settlement's layout alongside the industrial and natural geography of Penobscot County. The imagery captures the confluence of the East Branch and West Branch where they form the main artery of the Penobscot River. This area is defined by its relationship with water and timber, with Dolby Pond creating a significant reservoir and log storage area for local operations. Further north, the small settlement of Grindstone sits near the banks of the river, marking a point of transition between the developed mill town and the deep Maine woods. The detailed aerial photography reveals the complex network of access roads and waterways, including Salmon Stream, that supported the region's logging economy during the mid-20th century.
