1975 Map of Waterville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Waterville and Oakland anchor this mid-1970s orthophotographic study, showing the dense development and industrial patterns of Kennebec County as they existed several decades ago. The imagery reveals the significant relationship between the local economy and the region's waterways, particularly the Kennebec River which forms the eastern boundary of the quadrangle. North of the primary urban centers, the landscape transitions into the smaller rural settlement of Fairfield Center, where cleared agricultural fields contrast with the heavily wooded tracts common to this part of Maine. This aerial perspective captures the intricate hydrology of the area, tracing the flow of Messalonskee Stream from the southern tip of Messalonskee Lake as it winds toward its confluence, alongside the smaller Martin Stream in the northwestern sector.
