2021 Map of Scopan

About this map

The Aroostook River and Machias River define this part of northern Maine, where the township of Ashland sits at a crossroads of river navigation and inland routes. The landscape transitions from the river valleys toward elevated ground at Young Hill and Grove Hill, separated by a network of drainage streams like Horse Brook and Trout Brook. Family heritage is deeply rooted in the rural landscape here, with several ancestral burial grounds including Winslow Cem, Alieff Cem, and Rafford Cem positioned along the local road networks. The settlement of Scopan lies to the south, near where Scopan Stream meets the main river channel. Numerous logging roads and local routes, such as Lynchs Tote Rd and Garfield Rd, reveal the long-standing timber and agricultural character of Aroostook County.
