1975 Map of Norridgewock SE

About this map

North Belgrade anchors the southern portion of this mid-1970s orthophotograph, providing a clear visual record of the interconnected Belgrade Lakes region. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery offers a direct view of the land as it appeared in October 1975, showing the relationship between shoreline development and the extensive agricultural and wooded tracts of Kennebec County. Small clusters of habitation are evident at Rome and Tyler Corner, while the vast surfaces of Great Pond and North Pond dominate the western and northern landscape. The map captures a moment before more modern expansion, detailing the precise footprint of the period's shorefront properties and the rural road network that connects East Pond to the northern reaches of Lake Messalonskee.
