1975 Map of Mooseleuk Lake NW

About this map

Dense woodland and intricate drainage systems define this Aroostook County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1970s. The orthophotoquad captures a detailed overhead view of the Maine wilderness, emphasizing the natural hydrology of the region. Notable water bodies include Pratt Lake in the southeast and Farrar Pond to its west, both serving as central points for local drainage. This imagery provides a distinct perspective on the forest structure and waterway patterns that defined the area before modern commercial timber harvesting practices evolved. Significant stream systems like Indian Brook and Ten Mile Brook carve through the heavy canopy, while Rocky Brook and Pratt Lake Str further illustrate the interconnected nature of this watershed. For researchers of Maine's environmental history, this map preserves the specific state of the North Woods at a precise moment in the late twentieth century.
