1975 Map of Skowhegan SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Kennebec River carves through the southern landscape of this 1975 orthophotoquad, defining the industrial and residential core of Skowhegan. This unique aerial perspective shows the town's dense layout and riverside development just as it appeared in the mid-1970s. North of the main settlement, the land transitions into a patchwork of woodlots and agricultural clearings along the winding Wesserunsett Stream. Small rural nodes like Malbons Mills and Lower Mill reflect the area's history of water-powered industry, while Wesserunsett Lake sits at the western edge of the sheet. Unlike standard topographic maps, this imagery provides a direct view of the exact vegetation patterns and field boundaries of the era, offering a precise visual record of Somerset County's land use before later twentieth-century changes.
