North Maine Woods map showing location of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft School

I recently updated our website with a bit of information about the neighborhood (see text below), and in doing so found this updated North Maine Woods map that I dropped our location on. There are so many places to explore around here that one would have to live a very long life to see them all.

Masardis, Maine is a small, rural town in central Aroostook county. It is characterized by wild spaces and just a few people. On our side of the river, the field school abuts the 525 acre Pollard Flat Wildlife Management Area, a state-owned tract of land managed for wildlife and conservation that recently doubled it’s size. Directly out our back door is the North Maine Woods, a 3.5 million acre working forest with no permanent residents, towns or pavement – it is 77 miles from our driveway to the Quebec border (see map above). On the other side of Masardis is the 16,500 acre Scopan Public Reserved Land, and we are a short drive from Katahdin Woods And Waters National Monument and Baxter State Park. Our area offers five canoeable streams within a few miles, as well as a large lake with remote campsites.

Typos, Etc.
Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
