2024 Map of Scopan

About this map

Ashland and the smaller settlement of Scopan occupy this northern Maine landscape where the Aroostook River winds through dense woodlands and wetlands. The geography is defined by its water systems, including the Machias River, Scopan Stream, and several smaller tributaries like Trout Brook and Horse Brook. While much of the terrain is low-lying, notable elevations such as Young Hill and Grove Hill rise above the river valley. The region's history is reflected in several scattered burial grounds, including Winslow Cem, Alieff Cem, Rafford Cem, and Robinson Cem, often located near rural roads like Masardis Rd and Garfield Rd. A network of logging and farm roads, such as Lynchs Tote Rd and Craig Camp Rd, suggests the area's ongoing reliance on timber and agriculture.
