1975 Map of Winn NW

About this map

The settlement of Woodville and its surrounding forest lands define this 1975 orthophoto survey of the Penobscot region. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery provides a direct visual record of land use, revealing the stark geometry of logging tracts and cleared fields against the dense Maine woods. The dark, sprawling waters of Caribou Pond dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage point for the area's complex network of wetlands and small streams. The orthophoto format allows researchers to trace the exact boundaries of farms and woodlots during the mid-1970s, offering a clear look at the agricultural and timber patterns of the day.
