1975 Map of Traveler Mountain NW

About this map

Grand Lake Matagamon dominates the eastern edge of this 1975 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to document the North Woods landscape of Maine. This specific format replaces traditional topographic lines with a high-contrast overhead image, revealing the raw texture of the timberlands and the intricate drainage patterns of the region. The map shows the winding course of Webster Brook as it flows toward the lake, alongside the path of Trout Brook. For researchers of the Maine wilderness, these images provide a clear record of forest cover and shoreline conditions at the mid-1970s, before modern shifts in land management and logging infrastructure changed the character of the backcountry.
