2014 Map of Scopan

About this map

The Aroostook River and Machias River converge near the town of Ashland, shaping a landscape defined by timber and waterway transport in northern Maine. This survey captures the rural character of Aroostook County, where agricultural and forest roads like Garfield Rd and Masardis Rd connect small settlements. To the southeast, the village of Scopan sits along Scopan Stream, an area historically tied to the regional rail and river network. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Young Hill and Grove Hill, which overlook the winding paths of Horse Brook and Shields Brook. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds, including Winslow Cem, Alieff Cem, Rafford Cem, and Robinson Cem, providing a precise record of these family and community sites as they remained in the early 21st century.
