1978 Map of Silver Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Silver Lake sits at the center of this 1978 orthophotoquad, serving as a primary hydrologic feature in a heavily forested landscape of Piscataquis County. The imagery, captured via high-altitude aerial photography, reveals the raw topography of the Maine woods before the era of modern digital mapping. To the west, the dark expanse of Houston Pond is flanked by the significant elevations of Houston Mountain and Roundtop Mountain. The drainage pattern is dominated by the West Branch Pleasant River, which meanders across the northern half of the sheet. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this photographic record shows the density of timber and the specific paths of remote logging roads as they existed in the late 1970s. Waterways like Houston Brook and Roaring Brook cut through the timberland, illustrating the complex network of brooks that define this undeveloped region.
