1977 Map of Tomhegan Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Tomhegan Pond and the dense timberlands of Somerset County are captured in this orthophotomap, which utilizes aerial imagery from 1977. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery-based study provides a direct visual of the forest canopy and natural waterways, revealing the complex drainage patterns of Tomhegan Stream. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the South Branch Penobscot River, a vital water resource in this sparsely developed interior. The contrast between the open water of Center Pond and the surrounding dark forest floor highlights the isolation of these northern Maine woods during the late 1970s. This specific type of orthophotograph is particularly useful for foresters and land managers to see the exact state of the woodland and logging road networks before later changes in industrial land use.
