1979 Map of New Portland

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Carrabassett River carves a winding path through this corner of Somerset County, serving as the central geographic feature for the distinct villages of New Portland, North New Portland, and East New Portland. This orthophotoquad, derived from 1979 aerial imagery, provides a clear visual of the land-use patterns where river valleys meet the wooded uplands. The large expanse of Gilman Pond dominates the central portion of the sheet, feeding into Gilman Stream as it flows south toward the larger river system. Smaller tributaries like Sandy Stream and Lemon Stream define the drainage basins for these rural Maine settlements. The imagery reveals the relationship between the historic village centers and the surrounding timberland, showing the precise footprints of roads and clearings that supported the local economy during the late 1970s.
