1975 Map of Square Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Square Lake and its deep northern waters dominate this orthophotograph, providing a rare aerial perspective of the Aroostook County wilderness in the mid-1970s. This imagery-based map replaces traditional topographic linework with a direct visual of the forested landscape, revealing the sharp contrast between the dense woodlands and the clearings of agricultural fields. Along the eastern shore of Cross Lake, several small farmsteads and access roads are visible, suggesting the enduring presence of rural homesteads in this isolated region. The narrow channel between the lakes and the sequestered waters of Carry Pond highlight the complex hydrological connections of the Fish River chain of lakes. This document is a critical resource for understanding the land-use patterns and forest density before modern logging and development further altered the Maine North Woods.
