1975 Map of Wytopitlock SE

About this map

Mattawamkeag River defines the western landscape of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, winding through the dense timberlands of Penobscot County. This specific imagery, captured from an aerial photograph taken in May 1975, offers a precise visual record of the region's managed forests and drainage patterns. The course of Meadow Brook is clearly visible as it cuts through the terrain, punctuated by irregular patches of clearing and regrowth that reveal the local logging footprint of the era. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophoto provides a direct photographic look at the vegetation density and wetland margins surrounding the river system, serving as a vital reference for environmental historians and land-use researchers studying Maine's interior woodlands before modern development or forest management shifts.
