1975 Map of Stetson SW

About this map

Sebasticook Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Maine orthophotoquad, its waters extending into a region defined by agricultural clearing and forest patches. Unlike a standard topographic map, this imagery provides a direct visual record of the land surface in the mid-1970s, showing the precise outlines of woodlots and farm fields. The village of East Newport sits at a critical junction of roads and rail corridors, while to the south, the settlement of Plymouth rests at the head of Plymouth Pond. Between these two hubs, the course of Martin Stream winds through low-lying terrain, flanked by the rise of Billings Hill. This aerial survey captures the rural character of the Penobscot County interior just as interstate development was firmly established across the landscape.
