1975 Map of Winn NE

About this map

Mattawamkeag River flows through this corner of Penobscot County, defining the northern edge of the landscape recorded in this 1975 orthophotograph. The settlement of Winn sits as a primary point of reference in a territory dominated by dense woodlands and timber resource management. Captured through aerial photography rather than traditional topographic lines, this sheet reveals the physical footprint of the Maine woods during the mid-1970s, showing the precise layout of forest clearings, access roads, and riverbank vegetation. The imagery provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between the river corridor and the scattered development of the village, offering a specialized visual record for those studying the land-use patterns of Northern Maine before the digital mapping era.
