1977 Map of Wilsons Mills

About this map

Wilsons Mills serves as the primary point of settlement in this northern Maine landscape, positioned where the Magalloway River winds through the valley floor. This orthophotoquad, derived from aerial imagery, emphasizes the timbered character of the region and the complex drainage systems that define it. The confluence of the Dead Diamond River and Swift Diamond River highlights the essential water network that historically supported regional logging efforts. Dominating the eastern edge is the expansive Aziscohos Lake, while the topography is punctuated by prominent peaks such as Halfmoon Mountain and Black Mountain. The imagery provides a clear view of the winding riverbanks and the narrow corridors of human activity tucked between the mountains, offering researchers a look at the land use patterns of the late 1970s before modern development altered these traditional waterways.
