1975 Map of Winterville NE

About this map

Winterville and Quimby stand as the primary settlements in this northern Maine landscape, captured during a 1975 aerial survey. The orthophoto reveals a distinct pattern of cleared agricultural plots and rural homesteads concentrated along the western edge, contrasting sharply with the deep forest cover that dominates the eastern half of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the region is defined by the expansive St Froid Lake and the winding course of the Fish River, which cuts through the southern portion of the sheet. Smaller water features like Pennington Pond and Mc Nally Brook further illustrate the drainage patterns of this timber-rich territory. The map provides a literal photographic record of land use, showing the exact footprint of forest clearing and road development at the mid-1970s.
