1975 Map of Presque Isle NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Agricultural fields and dense woodlands define this 1975 orthophoto centered on the township of Mapleton in northern Maine. The imagery reveals the mid-1970s land-use patterns of the Aroostook County potato-growing region, showing the distinct contrast between the cleared, geometric plots along State Road and the heavily forested peaks of Haystack Mountain and Pyle Mountain. Further south, the settlement of Chapman sits near the winding course of the North Branch Presque Isle Stream, which drains the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This aerial perspective captures the rural character of the area just before the 1980s, highlighting how the local topography, including elevations like Garland Hill, dictated the expansion of local farms and road networks through the woods.
