1975 Map of Norridgewock NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Kennebec River flows through the northern reaches of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, anchoring the settlement of Norridgewock at a strategic bend in the water. This aerial perspective, captured in October 1975, reveals the stark contrast between the dense woodlands of Somerset County and the cleared agricultural plots that line the riverbanks and roads. To the south, the village of Smithfield sits near the shores of North Pond and East Pond, areas where the landscape transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and small clearings. The prominence of Mount Tom provides a central landmark amidst the undulating terrain. Because this is an orthophotograph rather than a standard line map, researchers can observe the actual density of forest cover and the precise layout of farmsteads and rural properties as they existed during this era.
