1978 Map of Ragged Mountain

About this map

Upper Jo-Mary Lake dominates the northwest corner of this 1978 orthophotoquad, its dark waters contrasted against the timbered terrain of Penobscot County. This aerial perspective, captured in late October, provides a clear view of the logging roads and clearings that mark the industrial forest landscape. Near the southeastern edge, the settlement of West Seboois sits along the rail line, representing a small hub of activity in an otherwise remote region. The topography is defined by Ragged Mountain, while the southern reaches are drained by the E Br Pleasant River. This survey captures the Maine woods just before the turn of the decade, showing the precise footprints of shorelines at South Twin Lake and the established network of resource extraction roads that weave through the backcountry.
