2011 Map of Scopan Lake West

About this map

Masardis serves as the primary hub of this Aroostook County landscape, situated along the Aroostook River in the southwestern corner. The geography is defined by the massive reach of Scopan Lake, controlled by the Squapan Dam at its western narrow. The map documents a rural timber and transport network, evidenced by specialized infrastructure like Nowland Siding and Midway Siding alongside several family-named landmarks. Interior access is dictated by logging and utility routes such as Private Maine Public Srv Rd and Heartbreak Ridge Rd, which cut through the forested terrain near Sterling Ridge. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Masardis Post Office and the Smith Cemetery near the river provides concrete touchpoints for tracing 19th and 20th-century family roots in this northern Maine township.
