1975 Map of Presque Isle SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The timberlands and waters of central Aroostook County are documented in this mid-1970s orthophoto, where the prominent Squa Pan Lake dominates the western landscape. Along its narrow northern shoreline sits the settlement of Walker, positioned at the base of the massive Squa Pan Mountain. This aerial-based perspective provides a clear view of the logging roads and clearings that characterize the upland forests north of Masardis. To the northeast, the terrain softens toward the North Branch Presque Isle Stream and the dark waters of Alder Lake, illustrating the transition from the lake-rich highlands to the drainage basins that feed the larger St. John River system. The map captures a specific moment in Maine's industrial forest history, showing the intricate network of tracks used to navigate these remote reaches before modern development altered the forest floor.
