1978 Map of Norcross

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Norcross occupies the southern edge of this orthophotoquad, serving as a gateway to the intricate waterway systems of northern Penobscot County. The 1978 aerial imagery reveals a landscape defined by expansive timberlands and a complex network of interconnected glacial lakes, including Millinocket Lake to the north and the sprawling North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake to the southwest. This specific survey captures the region's logging and recreational character before modern development, showing the clear timber management lines and road tracks that bypass Black Cat Mountain and Hammond Ridge. The visual data highlights the narrow channels and thoroughfares connecting bodies like Elbow Lake and Pemadumcook Lake, essential routes for both historic log drives and backcountry navigation.
