1975 Map of Winterville NW

About this map

Fish River winds through this heavily forested landscape in northern Maine, recorded here as it appeared in the mid-1970s. This orthophotoquad provides a clear visual of the dense woodland and logging patterns characteristic of Aroostook County. The water bodies of Froid Lake and Island Pond stand out against the canopy, offering a direct view of the undisturbed shoreline and drainage patterns before later development or regrowth altered the timber stands. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial imagery allows researchers to see the actual texture of the ground cover and the winding path of the river as it cuts through the terrain.
