1976 Map of Stetson SE

About this map

Carmel and its surrounding hamlets are captured in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography from 1975 to provide a detailed view of the Maine landscape. The image clearly shows the intersection of local roads and the interstate corridor as it cuts through the wooded terrain of Penobscot County. Small residential clusters at South Levant, Damascus, and Etna Center are visible alongside the meandering path of Souadabscook Stream. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this photographic record reveals the exact footprint of forest clearings, agricultural fields, and the precise layout of the village of Etna. It provides a tangible sense of the rural development and land use patterns as they existed before the growth of recent decades.
