1975 Map of Pittsfield SE

About this map

Pittsfield serves as the primary urban center for this section of Pike County, as captured in this orthophotograph based on an April 1975 aerial survey. The map provides a high-resolution visual record of the late-century agricultural and civic layout, showing the town's dense grid of streets and surrounding homesteads before later developments. Further south, the small community of Martinsburg appears as a distinct rural cluster. The imagery reveals the intricate drainage patterns and woodlots that break up the expansive Midwestern farm fields, offering a clear view of land-use boundaries and property divisions. This specific document is an orthophotoquad, which combines the geographic accuracy of a topographic map with the photographic detail of the actual terrain, making it an essential resource for identifying specific field structures and tree lines as they existed in the mid-1970s.
