About this map

Scopan Mtn and its prominent Scopan Knob dominate the center of this Aroostook County landscape, rising between the waters of Scopan Lake and the high ground of Huson Ridge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Shields Brook, Dunn Brook, and Huson Brook flow through the interior forests toward the lake shore. To the north, a distinct geological feature known as The Notch separates the primary mass of the mountain from Chandler Mtn.

Settlement patterns in this timber-rich region are sparse, represented by small clearings and landings such as Swanback Clearing and the locality of Walker on the western shore. The map details the jagged eastern shoreline of the lake, including Birch Point, White Point, and Sylvester Point, alongside the protected waters of Big Cove and Bogan Cove. Logging roads like Seven Islands Rd and W Chapman Rd provide the primary access into these woods, tracing the routes of historical timber extraction.
