1977 Map of Penobscot Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Penobscot Lake dominates the center of this remote Somerset County landscape, recorded through a 1977 orthophotograph. This high-altitude perspective captures the complex shoreline of the lake and its neighboring waters, including Lac Du Portage to the northwest. The terrain is defined by dense forest cover and a network of drainage systems, such as Penobscot Brook and Mud Brook, which weave through the timberland. Smaller isolated water bodies like Cheney Pond and Mary Petuche Pond appear as dark pockets against the varied texture of the Maine woods. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this orthophotoquad preserves the literal visual state of the vegetation and hydrology as they existed in the late 1970s, providing researchers with an unfiltered view of the region's wilderness character.
