1975 Map of Square Lake NW

About this map

Daigle and Ouellette appear as small, rural settlements amid a patchwork of cleared agricultural land and dense northern forest in the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad captures the distinct land-use patterns of Northern Maine, where rectangular farm plots and timber tracts define the landscape. Water drainage is represented by the meandering courses of Daigle Brook and Dimock Brook, which cut through the varying topography. The aerial perspective reveals the clear distinction between the cultivated fields along the primary roads and the larger, unbroken forest blocks, reflecting the local reliance on both farming and the timber industry during this era.
