1975 Map of Smyrna Mills NW

About this map

Smyrna Mills and its surrounding timberlands are captured in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, showing a landscape defined by industrial forestry and scattered rural settlements. The orthophoto format provides a direct visual record of land use, where clear-cut patches and varying stages of forest regrowth contrast sharply with the dense canopy of the northern Maine woods. Small clusters of activity are visible at Shorey and Dudley, while the winding course of Dudley Brook and the elevation of Pervere Ridge reveal the underlying topography. The settlement pattern follows the established road network, with agricultural clearings and residential plots concentrated near the primary thoroughfares, illustrating the transition between managed forest and the community hub of Smyrna Mills.
