1975 Map of Nicatous Lake NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Duck Lake occupies the southwestern portion of this 1975 orthophotoquad, which covers a remote stretch of the Maine interior. Unlike standard topographic maps, this aerial imagery reveals the actual density of the forest canopy and the complex shoreline of the lake itself. The sheet is exceptionally sparse, reflecting the undeveloped nature of the Hancock County landscape during the mid-1970s. For researchers and property historians, the contrast between the dark waters of Duck Lake and the varying textures of the surrounding timberland provides a visual record of forest management and natural topography that traditional line maps often simplify. The imagery was rectified from high-altitude photography to create an accurate cartographic representation of a region where named landmarks and human settlements are almost entirely absent.
