Benoits Siding nestles in a fold of the land, a quiet collection of homes dwarfed by the vast, rolling hills that cradle it. It lies 26.1 km north of Channel-Port aux Basques, NL (from Channel-Port aux Basques, NL: bearing 350°T), and is situated 15.9 km east-south-east of Codroy. The air here, often carrying the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding spruce and fir forests, hangs still and cool even on brighter days. Stretches of rough, peat-rich soil, studded with granite outcrops, characterize the terrain, giving way in places to the sluggish, dark waters of small, unnamed ponds that mirror the bruised grey of the Newfoundland sky. The landscape feels ancient, unhurried, as if time itself has learned to tread softly on this remote corner of the island, leaving only the whisper of wind through the trees and the occasional cry of a distant seabird. The history of Benoits Siding is deeply tied to the railways that once crisscrossed this island, a lifeline that brought people and supplies to this isolated locale. While the tracks may have fallen silent, the echoes of that industrious past linger, a subtle undertone to the present-day quiet. The local economy, once reliant on resources extracted from the demanding land, now finds its footing in the hardy resilience of its people and a growing connection to the outside world through the very infrastructure that once defined its isolation. Small, well-tended gardens, bursting with hardy vegetables, speak to a tradition of self-sufficiency, a quiet defiance against the often-harsh climate. The distinctive scent of woodsmoke, particularly as dusk settles and the pale light begins to fade, is a constant reminder of the enduring human presence in this beautiful, untamed expanse.
