1975 Map of Shin Pond SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Jerry Pond and Bowlin Pond anchor this 1975 orthophotoquad of the Maine wilderness. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this survey uses rectified aerial photography taken in October of 1975 to provide a direct visual record of the forest canopy and hydrology. The dark, elongated forms of these water bodies contrast against the dense timberland, revealing the natural drainage patterns and the primitive road or trail network cutting through the brush. For researchers of the Penobscot region, this imagery captures the exact state of the working forest and shoreline before later decades of growth and development altered the landscape, offering a literal look at the ground as it appeared during the mid-seventies.
