1975 Map of Oxbow NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Aroostook River carves a winding path through this portion of Aroostook County, Maine, as it appeared in the mid-1970s. This orthophotographic study reveals the intricate hydrology of the northern woods, defined by the convergence of the West Branch and several tributaries including Trout Brook and Houlton Brook. The settlement of Oxbow sits along the river's edge, surrounded by timbered terrain that shows the distinct geometric signatures of forest management and clearings of the era. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct visual record of the vegetation density and the precise routes of primitive roads and logging tracks that connected the river settlements to the deep interior of the Maine forest. It captures a moment in the region's long history as a center for lumbering and river-based transport.
