About this map

Canaan serves as the central hub of this Somerset County landscape, where the waters of Carrabassett Stream and Black Stream converge amidst a terrain of distinct drumlins and valleys. The settlement pattern is defined by rural corridors like Canaan Rd and Main St, connecting local homesteads to significant water bodies such as Lake George and Sibley Pond.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the numerous burial sites distributed across the township, including Fairview Cem, Richards Cem, and the uniquely named Slab City Cem. The landscape is dominated by prominent heights such as Eaton Mtn, Burrill Hill, and Chase Hill, which overlook expansive wetlands like Canaan Bog and Juniper Bog. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the modern road network, from Tuttle Rd to Browns Corner Rd, set against the timeless topography of central Maine.
