1978 Map of Seboeis Lake

About this map

Seboeis Lake and Schoodic Lake dominate this orthophotoquad, which captures the lake-strewn landscape of central Maine in the late 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by extensive water bodies and dense forest, where human settlement is clustered at small outposts like Packards and Schoodic. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct look at the texture of the timberland and the complex, irregular shorelines of Ebee Mee Lake. The elevation of Schoodic Mountain rises between the major basins, serving as a prominent landmark in a territory primarily accessed by narrow tracks and water. This record is particularly valuable for documenting the precise footprint of lakeside structures and logging roads as they existed before modern development altered these shorelines.
