1975 Map of Pittsfield NW

About this map

Great Moose Lake and the winding Sebasticook River define this rural Somerset County landscape during the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad provides an aerial perspective of the region's transition from water to woodland, centering on the small village of St Albans and the northern edge of Hartland. The imagery reveals a patchwork of forest and cleared fields characteristic of central Maine’s agricultural and timber-linked economy. High ground is marked by St Albans Mountain in the north, while water bodies like Indian Pond and the point labeled Stronghold indicate the area's geography of interconnected lakes and streams. Other smaller clusters of settlement, including West Ripley, appear as concentrated dots of infrastructure amidst the dense vegetation and hydrography captured in this October 1975 flyover.
