1976 Map of Seven Islands

About this map

St. John River currents dominate this aerial perspective of the Maine North Woods, captured during an orthophotographic survey in the mid-1970s. The waterway winds through a dense timberland landscape where industrial forestry tracks and logging roads have carved a grid into the forest canopy. The most distinctive geographical feature is the Seven Islands complex, a series of alluvial landforms and river channels that break the main flow of the St. John. Small tributaries like Lizotte Brook and Priestly Brook drain the surrounding heights, while White Pond sits in the upland terrain. This imagery provides a rare literal view of the backcountry landscape before modern reforestation and changing land management practices altered the visible scars of twentieth-century logging operations.
