1977 Map of Socatean Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates the southern reaches of this 1977 orthophotoquad, a specialized document that uses rectified aerial imagery to show the true texture of the Maine woods. The dark waters of Socatean Bay extend into the timberlands of Somerset County, where the landscape is defined by the dense forest cover and a network of logging roads and clearings visible from the air. Further north, the winding course of Williams Brook cuts through the timber, revealing the drainage patterns that feed into the larger lake system. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based study provides an unfiltered look at the industrial forest at a moment in time when timber harvesting and shoreline preservation shaped the region's character.
