1975 Map of Winn SE

About this map

Moose Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this orthophotoquad, a specialized cartographic product that merges the photographic detail of aerial imagery with the precision of topographic mapping. Unlike traditional line-and-tint maps, this 1975 survey provides a raw visual record of the dense Maine woodlands and the intricate patterns of its wetlands and water bodies. The imagery reveals the varied texture of the forest floor and the stark outlines of several unnamed lakes and ponds characteristic of the Penobscot region. The presence of logging tracks and winding rural roads cutting through the timberland illustrates the area's ongoing relationship with the forestry industry, offering a clear view of the land-use patterns and natural drainage systems before further modern development or reforestation altered the terrain.
