1975 Map of Stockholm SW

About this map

The timberlands and settled clearings of northern Aroostook County are documented in this orthophotoquad, which captures the landscape as it appeared in the mid-1970s. The village of Stockholm sits at the eastern edge of the sheet, while the smaller settlement of Jemtland marks the southern rural reaches. This imagery provides a rare overhead perspective on the region's land use, showing the distinct boundary between the dense forest cover and the agricultural plots around the settlements. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the sprawling Madawaska Lake, which feeds into the Madawaska River. Further north, the drainage is defined by Armstrong Brook, cutting through the heavy timber that characterizes much of the quadrangle. For those studying the evolution of Northern Maine, this document records the extent of development and the reach of local logging roads during this era.
