1975 Map of South Lagrange

About this map

South Lagrange serves as the primary focal point in this 1975 orthophotoquad, which utilizes aerial imagery to document the Penobscot County landscape. The settlement sits at a crossroads where rail and road corridors intersect a terrain dominated by low-lying wetlands and dense woodlands. To the south, the smaller locality of Gerry is visible, positioned near the meandering course of Dead Stream. The transition from cleared agricultural or residential plots to the expansive, darker textures of Sargent Bog and Call Bog highlights the region's complex drainage patterns. Significant water bodies such as Pickerel Pond and the branching waterways of West Branch Dead Stream define the eastern and western reaches. This survey provides a unique visual record of mid-century land use, revealing the footprint of human settlement amidst the sprawling peatlands of central Maine.
