1978 Map of Ragged Mountain

About this map

Upper Jo-Mary Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Maine landscape, captured through orthophotography in the late 1970s. The imagery reveals the dense timberlands and remote waterways of the West Seboois region, where the forest floor is marked by logging roads and natural drainages. To the east, the map captures a portion of South Twin Lake, while the namesake Ragged Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in the central terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Pleasant River. This aerial perspective provides researchers with a clear view of the industrial and recreational interface of the Maine woods during this era, showing the specific patterns of land use and forest management that shaped the Penobscot County interior.
