1977 Map of Oquossoc

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mooselookmeguntic Lake dominates this orthophotoquad, serving as the central basin for a complex network of waterways in Oxford County. Taken in late October 1977, the aerial photography reveals the stark interface between the deep water and the heavily wooded shoreline before the winter freeze. The settlement of Oquossoc sits at the northern narrows where the Kennebago River and Rangeley River converge, highlighting its role as a historical junction for river-and-lake travel. To the south, South Rangeley and the prominent Bald Mountain frame the eastern shore. The presence of Upper Dam at the western outlet toward Upper Richardson Lake underscores the importance of water management in this timber-rich region. This specific format of map, using rectified photography rather than traditional contours, provides a literal look at the forest density and the exact footprint of small settlements during the late 1970s.
