1977 Map of Twin Peaks

About this map

East Branch Magalloway River cuts through this high-elevation landscape along the international border between Maine and Quebec. This 1977 orthophotograph captures the distinct patterns of industrial forest management and natural drainage in the northern wilderness. The terrain is defined by prominent heights such as Twin Peaks and the northern slope of Mont Gosford, while the hydrography is dominated by the winding course of the Riviere and the waters of Lac Arnold. As an orthophotoquad, this document provides a realistic visual of the vegetation density and logging road networks near the Arnold area that traditional topographic line maps often generalize, offering a clear record of the North Woods before modern satellite imagery became ubiquitous.
