1977 Map of Parmachenee Lake

About this map

Magalloway River and the neighboring drainage of the Cupsuptic River define this stretch of the Maine-Quebec borderlands during the late 1970s. This orthophotograph, derived from high-altitude aerial imagery, reveals the complex texture of the North Woods, where logging roads and clearings contrast with the dense timber of Bottle Mountain. The map provides a raw visual record of the land surface, showing the winding course of Moose Brook as it feeds into the western waterways. Unlike traditional topographic maps that use contour lines, this format uses rectified imagery to show the actual forest canopy and river banks exactly as they existed on October 31, 1977, offering researchers a literal view of the timber management and riparian environment of the era.
