About this map

Masardis serves as a focal point in the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Aroostook River winds through the Maine landscape. The area is defined by its timber and rail-dependent history, evidenced by Nowland Siding and Midway Siding located along the eastern shore of Scopan Lake. These features reflect the long-standing transport networks used to move northern Maine’s forest products.

Further inland, the terrain is shaped by Sterling Ridge and Nowland Hill, with small settlements like Scopan and the Smith Cem providing historical markers for family researchers. Waterways such as Scopan Stream and Clayton Brook dominate the drainage patterns of the region, while timber roads like Heartbreak Ridge Rd and Seven Islands Rd cut through the dense woodland. This documentation captures the balance between the natural flow of the W Br Squa Pan Inlet and the industrial infrastructure necessary for the region's rural economy.
