1975 Map of Nicatous Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Nicatous Lake dominates the central portion of this orthophotoquad, captured through aerial photography in the mid-1970s. The landscape is a complex pattern of northern Maine timberland and water, defined by the winding course of the Passadumkeag River in the north. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based survey provides a raw view of the ground cover, highlighting the expansive wetland area labeled as Heath. The high-contrast imagery distinguishes between the dark, still waters of the lake's coves and the dense, textured canopy of the surrounding Hancock County forest. This specific visual record preserves the exact state of the shoreline and drainage patterns before later 20th-century shifts in land management or natural succession altered the footprint of the local wetlands.
