About this map

The confluence of the Machias River and Aroostook River defines this northern Maine landscape, where the municipal boundaries of Ashland, Masardis, and Garfield Plantation meet. During the mid-1980s, this area remained characterized by its timber and river-based geography, with the settlement of Squa Pan situated near the eastern bend of the river. The presence of a Landing Strip and several Private Roads cutting through the interior of T 10 R 6 Wels suggests the ongoing importance of logging and resource management in the region.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Town Hall in the northern reach and a Cem located near Grove Hill. The rugged character of the waterways is evident at Whitehorse Rips along the Machias River, while smaller tributaries like Trout Brook and Horse Brook drain the wooded uplands toward the primary river valleys. Notable elevations like Young Hill provide context for the topographical relief of the Aroostook County interior.
