1975 Map of Norridgewock SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Long Pond and Great Pond dominate this orthophotograph, providing a rare high-altitude perspective of the Kennebec County lakelands in the mid-1970s. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial survey reveals the literal texture of the Maine woods and the precise density of development around Belgrade Lakes and Rome Corner. The imagery captures the transition between dense forest cover and small-scale agricultural clearings that define the rural character of Vienna and Mount Vernon. Scholars of land use can trace the historical boundaries of fields and the exact shoreline configurations of Flying Pond as they appeared before modern lakeside expansion. The contrast between the dark, water-filled basins and the surrounding timberland highlights the glacially carved nature of the terrain, offering a visual inventory of the landscape's physical state in 1975.
