1975 Map of Springfield NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The settlement of Springfield anchors the southern portion of this 1975 orthophotograph, where small-scale agriculture and forest clearings disrupt the dense timberland of northern Penobscot County. This aerial perspective, captured in late May, reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Maine interior, notably the meandering Mattagodus Stream and the waters of Mattakeunk. The remote landscape is dominated by heavy forest cover, punctuated by Webster Pond and a few isolated clearings along the tributary known simply as Branch. This map provides a clear record of the region's mid-century logging and land-use patterns, showing the precise footprint of rural dwellings and field boundaries as they existed before decades of subsequent forest regrowth and development altered the local topography.
